Make sure your contact information is up to date. To confirm, ask your state Medicaid agency to ensure that they have your updated email, address, and phone number. That way, renewal notices or messages about work requirements will reach you. Additionally, if you qualify for exemption, apply for it! If you belong to one of the exemption categories mentioned here, call your Medicaid office to apply for a work requirement exemption. 

People often lose their coverage as they miss their renewal deadline. If you already meet the work requirements as illustrated in the OBBBA, stay on top of the renewal date and keep your coverage! For help with the renewal process, visit your state’s Medicaid or Medicare website or number. 

Policies for healthcare can change quickly, especially under recent laws like the OBBBA. Staying informed helps you prepare for shifts in eligibility, benefits, or requirements before they affect your coverage. Use trusted sources and local support networks to stay ahead.
