Beginning at the end of 2026 and into 2027, several important Medicaid changes will take effect, including work requirements for many adults, renewals every six months instead of annually, and updated eligibility rules for some immigrant populations. To help avoid losing coverage, Medicaid members should carefully read and respond to all Medicaid mail or email, complete renewal requests on time, and be prepared to meet any new requirements that apply to them.
