IN THE NEWS: MEDICAID RENEWALS


Health coverage from Virginia Medicaid needs to be renewed each year. This is called an annual renewal.

If your local department of social services has all the information needed to complete your renewal, this process will be done automatically. You will receive a notice in the mail telling you if your coverage will continue for another year.

If your renewal cannot be completed automatically, you will receive a paper renewal form in the mail. This means you must take action to renew your health coverage.


Renewing online or by phone is faster and easier. You can renew your health coverage in the following ways:

1. Online: Go to www.commonhelp.virginia.gov and click on "Renew My Benefits*."

2. By phone: Call Cover Virginia at 1-855-242-8282/TTY: 1-888-221-1590; this call is free.

3. By mail or in person: Complete the paper renewal form and return it to your local department of social services.


Failure to complete and turn in your Medicaid renewal application could result in a lapse of coverage. Call Cover Virginia at 1-855-242-8282 if you have any questions.

ATTENTION SNAP RECIPIENTS!
SNAP Recipients: The Consolidated Appropriations Act, recently passed by Congress, ends emergency allotments after February 2023. This means that the final issuance of the additional benefits will be loaded to your EBT card on Thursday, February 26th.

Don't Forget To Share With Your Service Facilitator!

Changes to your MCO, Health Insurance Premium Payment (HIPP) Program Enrollment or Medicaid eligibility affects your authorization for Personal Care, Respite, and Companion hours. Moms In Motion needs to know where to send authorization requests to. Your Service Facilitator is often one of the last to know about these types of changes.  You must have authorization in place with the appropriate entity and fiscal agent in order for your attendant to work and get paid. Don't risk a lapse in services.
