Welcome to the Certification Renewal page for the Certified Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist (CMPSS). This webpage provides step-by-step instructions on how to process your CMPSS certification renewal application.
As a certified peer, it is your responsibility to renew your certification before the expiration date. To avoid any lapses in your certification, please read the entire Certification Renewal and Continuing Education webpage. This will ensure you are fully informed of all requirements and steps needed for renewal.
