What is Changing?
Medicaid Renewals Every 6 Month
Most Medicaid members will need to complete a renewal every six months instead of once per year.
Missing renewal notices or failing to provide requested information could result in a loss of coverage
New Work Requirements
Starting January 1, 2027, some adults ages 19-64 enrolled in the Medicaid will need to show they are working or participating in approved activities to maintain coverage. Approved activities may include:
- Employment
- Job training
- School or vocational education
- Volunteer work or community service
Many individuals already meet these requirements through activities they are currently doing. Some people may qualify for an exemption.
