Renewing your Medicaid benefits

What is Medicaid renewal?

It’s the way to see if you are eligible to keep getting Medicaid benefits for another year. The State will send you a notice saying you need to reapply for Medicaid, for most people it’s every 12 months.

The notice will tell you:

• The date your documents are due
• What information you need to give
• What documents you need to send
• Ways you can renew
   

What documents will I need?

It will depend on what applies to you, so check your notice. You may need to send copies of:

• Your birth certificate or driver’s license/state ID
• Pay stubs or tax returns
• Proof of address
• Record of immigration status
   

What happens if I miss the renewal due date?

If you miss the renew due date, your benefits may end.
