The renewal requirements for Medicaid and CHIP coverage have returned to normal as of April 1, 2024. If you have Medicaid and/or CHIP, you will need to complete a renewal and may need to provide verification documents every year to keep your coverage. DHS will continue to send communications about renewals via mail, phone, and/or text messages. If you do not submit a renewal when it is due, you may lose coverage.
You will get a renewal packet in the mail when it is time to renew your state health coverage.
It is very important that you complete and return your renewal by the due date. Please complete your renewal if your circumstances like income or household size have changed OR if nothing has changed.
By completing your renewal, DHS can keep your state health coverage open or connect you to other affordable health coverage options if you are no longer eligible for Medicaid or CHIP. There are four ways you can complete and submit your renewal:
Completing your renewal will help DHS determine if you are still eligible for health coverage through the state. If you are still eligible, your Medicaid or CHIP coverage will continue. If you are no longer eligible, you will be automatically referred to Pennie®.
