× The federal government has shut down due to the failures of the President and Congress to continue government funding. Millions of Californians receiving benefits from state programs may be impacted. For now, California’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) will continue to provide services and enroll eligible families as long as funding is available. No new federal funding to California WIC will be provided until the President and Congress take action. Families should continue to use their WIC benefits and attend their WIC appointments. This information is subject to change, so please monitor the California WIC website for updates.

Please be wary of potential highly partisan political messaging while visiting federal government websites for information related to the federal government shutdown.

False Claims Act

These policies were developed by the Genetic Disease Screening Program (GDSP) administered by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). They were written in response to a requirement in the federal Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA), as amended in 2007 by § 6032. This law requires certain Medi-Cal providers and their contractors to inform their employees of Federal and State False Claims Act (FCA) laws and to establish procedures for detecting and preventing fraud, waste and abuse in payment claims.
