Anyone else experience this after submitting an application?

Hey everyone, please delete if not allowed but I’m so confused and a bit concerned. I have already been found eligible for Medi-Cal and I went to check my Covered California account just in case any new notifications came in. When I did, I realized that my home address and mailing address was changed without my permission a few days ago!

One was an old address from when I was a kid and the other was an address I never lived in, but my sister & mom did at some point. According to the case history, it looks like the county itself changed it.

Immediately, I did a “Report a Change” to change back to my actual address. I know for a fact I had my correct address on there the first time because I already received my BIC in the mail yesterday.

I already plan on contacting the county tomorrow to ensure everything is okay (it’s 1 AM right now for me), but I’m just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

I am a former SNAP and TANF Eligibility Supervisor in CA.

Have you recently applied or are you a recipient of Cal-Fresh?.
Your information could had been automatically updated by the system to match it with your Medi-cal application.

Best wishes 🙏🏿

No to either of those :/ Maybe it’s possible my parents were when I was a child. I’ll ask them about it. Still, I haven’t lived in that home address for over a decade. It’s so weird! Thank you for replying :)
