× 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.

Quality Accountability Supplemental Payment Program (QASP)

The State has developed the Quality Accountability Program for Skilled Nursing Facilities.  The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is partnering with California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) to implement this new program.  CDPH's Center for Health Care Quality is assessing and scoring facility quality of care so that DHCS can use these scores to issue incentive payments. If you need to contact the QASP Program please email QASP@cdph.ca.gov.
