Minnesotans whose Medical Assistance renewal forms were originally due July 31 will have an extra month to turn in their paperwork.
People affected by this extension are urged to send in their renewal forms and any required documentation as soon as possible to keep insurance coverage.
“If your renewal is due, please send it in as soon as you can,” said Interim Assistant Human Services Commissioner Julie Marquardt. “Help with paperwork is available through trained MNsure navigators, who are ready to assist in multiple languages.”

Minnesota provided a similar extension to people whose Medical Assistance forms were originally due June 30. The state and its partners have been using the additional time to redouble outreach efforts and help more people through the renewal process. That group still faces a July 31 deadline to submit their forms.

Counties and the White Earth Nation will soon receive extra financial support for helping Minnesotans with Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare renew their insurance.
The Minnesota Department of Human Services is sending $36 million in July to counties and White Earth, the only Tribe in the state to process public health care program renewals.
The funds will cover costs such as addressing health disparities, hiring and training staff, paying overtime, and reaching out to enrollees. Amounts (PDF) depend on how many Medical Assistance enrollees live in each jurisdiction.
“Our partners are working hard with us to help every eligible Minnesotan keep their health insurance. I’ve been impressed with some of their creative ideas,” said Human Services Commissioner Jodi Harpstead. “We deeply appreciate their efforts.”
