Understanding your Covered California data breach notification letter

If a Covered California letter arrived in your mailbox, here is what it means, why you received it, and the free steps you can take right now.

Why you received this letter

Covered California has reported a data incident that occurred in May 2026, with official filings made to regulators in October 2026. This notification informs potentially affected individuals about the event and advises general steps to protect their personal information.

What to do after the letter

  1. Confirm the notice is genuine

    A legitimate Covered California notice references the specific incident reported to the California Attorney General and describes which categories of your information were involved. Compare the letter against the public filing before acting on any links or phone numbers it contains.

  2. Keep the letter — it is your proof of connection

    The notification letter is the document that ties your personal information to this incident. Keep the original and photograph it. If you later request a case review, this letter is the strongest evidence that you were among the affected individuals.

  3. Protect your accounts and credit

    Depending on what was exposed, consider a free credit freeze with all three bureaus, new passwords for reused credentials, and monitoring of financial statements. These steps are free and do not require you to wait for anyone's permission.

  4. Check the record against the public filing

    You can verify the Covered California incident against the filing reported to the California Attorney General. This registry summarizes what was filed; it does not provide legal advice.
