Existing law, the Robert F. Kennedy Farm Workers Medical Plan, is a nonprofit voluntary employees beneficiary association, organized under federal law, that provides payments for health care and other benefits to its members. Existing law, until January 1, 2031, requires the State Department of Health Care Services to annually reimburse the plan up to $3,000,000 per year for claim payments that exceed $70,000 made by the plan on behalf of an eligible employee or dependent for a single episode of care on or after September 1, 2016.
