At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government declared a public health emergency (PHE). During the federal PHE, state Medicaid agencies are required to continue health care coverage for all medical assistance programs, even if someone's eligibility changes.
As a result, Medicaid, MI Child, and Healthy Michigan Plan (HMP) beneficiaries remain covered during the federal PHE so they don't have to worry about their health and wellbeing during this challenging time.
As a result of a newly enacted federal law, MDHHS will be working to restart Medicaid redeterminations in the coming months. The law does not address ending the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, which is still in effect. You can read the federal law, Consolidated Appropriations Act or this federal bulletin for more information.
Before Medicaid renewals begin, beneficiaries will receive an alert letter with guidance on how to prepare. Visit the Eligibility Notification Timeline webpage for more information.
When the COVID-19 PHE ends, MDHHS will notify stakeholders and providers of other program changes to occur.
Be sure your address, phone number, and email address are up to date. The best way to update your information is online at Michigan.gov/MIBridges. You can also call your local MDHHS office. Visit the MDHHS County Office webpage to find your local office information. If you do not have an online account for MI Bridges to access your Medicaid case or report changes, visit Michigan.gov/mibridges to sign up for a MI Bridges account. You can also locate organizations that can help you by searching for Community Partners.
*If you already have a MI Bridges account, creating new accounts will limit the information you can see. We strongly suggest using your original account if you are the Head of Household. Remember! Head of Households can see case information and report changes to the case information. If you are not Head of Household, you will only be able to see resource information.
Report any changes to your household or income. You can report changes at Michigan.gov/MIBridges. Or, call your local MDHHS office. Visit the MDHHS County Office webpage to find your local office information.
If you get a renewal packet, be sure to fill it out, sign the forms, and send them by the due date with any proof we need. If you do not complete your renewal, you may lose your Medicaid coverage. If we complete a review and you no longer qualify, you can choose to buy healthcare coverage through HealthCare.gov.

MDHHS is finalizing beneficiary communications, including a beneficiary awareness letter, which will be mailed the month before eligibility renewals are set to restart. This letter is intended to inform beneficiaries that eligibility renewals will resume, the potential impact on their coverage, and describe the resumption of renewal and redetermination actions.
In the coming months, MDHHS will begin mailing beneficiary eligibility renewal letters monthly based on the anniversary of their eligibility determination.
