Regular Medicaid Eligibility Operations Resume (original) (raw)

Information and resources on Medicaid redeterminations and other health coverage options.

Individuals received Medicaid coverage continuously during the COVID-19 federal public health emergency (PHE), even if they did not complete a redetermination of eligibility when it was due, or provide DHHS with requested information. Continuous coverage ended on March 31, 2023.

What does this mean?

Medicaid recipients must now complete an annual redetermination or respond to Department requests for information about eligibility status to see if they are still eligible for Medicaid coverage.

Individuals will receive a yellow notice in the mail or in their NH EASY accounts when it is time to complete their redetermination. They should follow the instructions included in the notice and complete a redetermination and/or provide the requested verifications. This is necessary to determine if individuals are still eligible for, and will be able to keep, their Medicaid coverage. Once the Department has determined eligibility for Medicaid coverage, individuals will receive a Notice of Decision on white paper.

Blue to Renew

Individuals whose Medicaid coverage ended for failing to complete a redetermination or to provide information requested by DHHS will receive a blue renewal reminder. Individuals can complete their redetermination or submit their missing information within 90 days to have their Medicaid re-opened with no break in coverage.
