Helping Families with Medicaid Keep Their Coverage -
During the federal COVID-19 public health emergency, many changes were made to the Medicaid program's eligibility, administration, and policies to ease rules for providers and prevent Medicaid beneficiaries from losing health care coverage. Per recent federal legislation, Michigan will restart Medicaid eligibility renewals in June, and amend certain waived policies that were in place during the pandemic.
The Michigan Department of Education has been asked to share with local school districts urgent information for them to send to families. Districts are being asked to send the #StayCovered information sheet to families, as well as the message for Medicaid redetermination through an email.
More information can be found at MDHHS website: www.michigan.gov/2023BenefitChanges
or on the
