Renewing Your Medicaid
Individuals on the CCC Plus & both of the DD Waivers (CL/FIS) are required to renew their Medicaid annually. A paper renewal application is usually mailed to the primary residence the month before the individual’s renewal month. You will not be required to have another screening.
- When completing the renewal application, only include information regarding the individual requesting Medicaid.
- Write “CCC Plus/Long Term Care” at the top of the form.
-
Section 5: Renewal of coverage in future years (optional) – to make it easier to determine your eligibility for help paying for health coverage in future years, you can agree to allow the Medicaid or FAMIS programs or the Marketplace to use income data, including information from tax returns. You will not receive a renewal application. Instead, you will receive notification of the outcome of your renewal. 5 years is the maximum number of years allowed.
You can renew using the following methods:
-
By phone:
- Call Cover Virginia at 1-855-242-8282
- TTY: 1-888-221-1590
-
By mail or in person: Complete the paper renewal form and return it to your local department of social services.

Key Roles in a Medicaid Waiver |

FISCAL AGENT(S):

The Fiscal Employer Agent keeps payment records and follows all tax rules on the EOR’s behalf. The EOR employs the attendant(s).
