Thousands of Missourians could lose their Medicaid

Missouri’s Department of Social Services anticipates as many as 200-thousand Missourians will lose their Medicaid benefits over the course of the next year. That’s because their income has increased enough that they no longer qualify.

While the public-health emergency was in effect, states could not remove anyone from their Medicaid rolls. But now that the Medicaid “unwinding” has begun, the department is resuming annual renewals. Kim Evans with the department encourages everyone to be sure D-S-S has their current contact information so they don’t miss important forms and requests for information. They can do this in a number of ways.

Evans points out there’s also a D-S-S resource center in every county for those who would like help in person. She explains the renewals will be processed the month the person originally qualified, beginning with June. The first round of annual renewal forms will be sent out the first week of May and must be returned by June 30th.
