Renewing Your Medicaid Eligibility
Information and resources on Medicaid redeterminations and other health coverage options.
Because of federal flexibilities tied to the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE), some individuals had their Medicaid coverage renewed automatically without having to provide the Department with additional information. These flexibilities are ending on June 30, 2025.
What does this mean?
Medicaid recipients must complete an annual redetermination or respond to Department requests for information about eligibility status to see if they are still eligible for Medicaid coverage.
Individuals will receive a yellow notice in the mail or in their NH EASY accounts when it is time to complete their redetermination. They should follow the instructions included in the notice and complete a redetermination and/or provide the requested verifications. This is necessary to determine if individuals are still eligible for, and will be able to keep, their Medicaid coverage. Once the Department has determined eligibility for Medicaid coverage, individuals will receive a Notice of Decision on white paper.
