What is Medicaid renewal?

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

Not everyone will receive a renewal form or request for information and need to take action. Some may just receive a letter indicating their renewal is complete and explaining their benefits. If you do get a renewal notice from DSS in the mail requesting information to renew your eligibility, respond as soon as possible.

Please complete all paperwork.

What happens if I miss the renewal due date?

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

What if I no longer qualify for Medicaid?

If you don't meet income requirements for this program, you may qualify for other health benefit coverage through the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
