Medicaid recipients were mailed a letter in February to let them know that the renewal form must be returned when their renewal time comes. During COVID, recipients didn’t have to renew to keep their Medicaid. But that is changing April 1st, and now recipients have to renew again.
Recipients will get their renewal letter in the mail at their normal renewal time. That is usually one year from the date they signed up for Medicaid. If they don’t remember this date, they can look it up in the My Medicaid portal or call the recipient call center phone: 1-800-362-1504.
