Renewing your Medicaid is how you can keep your health coverage for another year.
Every year, everyone with Medicaid needs to go through a renewal process to keep their coverage. You have not had to renew your Medicaid since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Now Illinois is starting renewals again to make sure all members are still eligible for coverage. Everybody’s renewal date is different, so it is important that you get ready to renew now. Learn what you need to do.

What happens next

After you submit your renewal form, the state’s Medicaid office at HFS will let you know if you’re still eligible for Medicaid. If you are, you don’t have to do anything else—you’re covered!

If you are no longer eligible for Medicaid, don’t worry. You may be able to connect to coverage at work or through the official Affordable Care Act Marketplace for Illinois, GetCoveredIllinois.gov.
