This dataset reflects the total number of individuals under the age of 65 with concurrent enrollment in Medi-Cal and CalFresh, and the total number of individuals enrolled only in CalFresh, by county. The CalFresh counts in this dataset does not include individuals who receive public assistance, such as CalWORKS, and therefore already enrolled in Medi-Cal.
