Sep 17, 2024 - The deferral, which was initially enacted to help address a budget problem in the 2006-07 budget, was scheduled to end in 2022-23. The 2023-24 budget delayed its end to 2024-25. Withdrawing the scheduled end of the deferral in 2024-25, thereby allowing it to continue, provides $5 33  million one-time General Fund savings in 2024-25.

Oct 23, 2023 - As a budget solution in 2006-07, the state implemented a hold in processing fee-for-service provider payments for the last two weeks of the fiscal year —a practice that remains in effect today. Because Medi-Cal is budgeted based on when cash payments are made, the hold generated one-time savings in 2006-07 by shifting payments into the next fiscal year.
