The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released an informational bulletin and slide deck to provide additional guidance to states on their obligation to come into compliance with federal regulations on timely processing of Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) eligibility renewals, as well as provide an update to the timeline in which states must complete unwinding-related renewals. To ensure that individuals who are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP retain coverage, and to assist states in their continued transition to regular renewal processing, CMS is providing states additional time to complete eligibility renewals, address persistent backlogs in processing redeterminations, and ensure that states achieve compliance with federal renewal timeliness requirements by December 2025.
To learn about the duration and conditions under which states may rely on an exception to those requirements, view the informational bulletin on Medicaid.gov.
To review the suggested temporary strategies and ongoing practices to support timely Medicaid and CHIP renewal initiation and processing, view the slide deck on Medicaid.gov.
