[Nancy Urquilla]

Good morning all,

I was asked to share the below information with all my networks.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the attorney in charge of this case. His contact information is included.

Thank you.

> Hello Rosy,
>  
> I hope that you had a good Thanksgiving. As you may know, DRC, DRA, and DREDF recently filed Hinkle v. Kent, a case claiming that people with visual disabilities do not receive accessible notices in violation of federal and state disability rights laws. You can read more about this case at https://www.disabilityrightsca.org/cases/hinkle-v-kent.  If you know anyone who had or is having a problem receiving communications in Braille or another alternative format regarding your Medi-Cal application or benefits, Disability Rights California is interested in speaking to them about this issue.  Please disseminate this message widely.
