Federal Shutdown and Health & Human Services
The federal government has shut down due to the failures of the President and Congress to continue government funding. The California Health and Human Services Agency (CalHHS) and its departments are closely monitoring the federal government shutdown and its impacts on Californians. Millions of Californians receiving benefits from State programs may be impacted by a prolonged federal shutdown. The extent and timing of those impacts may vary across programs and services. Information on how these programs may be impacted is linked below.
