Renewal

Keeping your coverage

Medicaid requires an annual renewal (also called redetermination). Watch for notices and respond quickly to stay covered.

1) Watch your mail & messages

You’ll get a renewal packet by mail or through kynect. It may ask for updated info.

2) Respond by the deadline

If you don’t return the renewal form or requested documents, your coverage may end. Deadlines are usually 30 days from the notice.

3) Update your info anytime

Report changes to address, income, phone, or household right away. This helps avoid gaps at renewal time.

4) If coverage ends

You may have a short reinstatement period. If you miss it, you can still reapply through kynect.

5) Need help?

Call DCBS at 855-306-8959 or contact a free kynector for assistance with renewals.
