The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) wants to help you stay informed about changes to Medicaid (called Medical Assistance in Minnesota). These changes come from a new federal law, and some of them may affect you and your family.
DHS has created a new webpage with the most current and accurate information on what the Medicaid changes are, who is affected, and when the changes start. You can find it at mn.gov/dhs/federalchanges/. DHS will keep adding more details in the coming weeks and months as they learn more from the federal government.
What are the changes?
- Starting October 1, 2026:
-
Noncitizen adults: Some noncitizen adults age 21 or older who are not pregnant will no longer be eligible for Medicaid (Medical Assistance).
- Starting January 1, 2027:
-
Work requirements: Some adults will need to meet work requirements to qualify for Medicaid (Medical Assistance).
-
Six-month renewal: Some adults will need to renew their Medicaid (Medical Assistance) coverage every six months instead of once a year.
- Starting January 1, 2028:
-
Retroactive coverage: Limits on Medicaid (Medical Assistance) retroactive coverage will begin. Federal rules will reduce how far back Medical Assistance can pay for covered medical bills before a person applies for coverage.

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer for women in the United States. Finding it early is very important.
The main test for breast cancer is a mammogram, which takes pictures of the inside of the breast. Most people assigned female at birth should get a mammogram every year starting at age 40. People with close family members who have had breast or ovarian cancer may need to start screening earlier.
Hennepin Health members can get mammograms at a wide range of providers, clinics, and hospitals, including Allina Health, Hennepin Healthcare, North Memorial Health, M Health Fairview, NorthPoint Health & Wellness Center, and many more.
