Each year, you must renew your Medicaid eligibility. This is called “redetermination.” Redetermination is the process where the state checks to see if you still qualify for Medicaid. You must do this through your local DCBS county office. To find the office near you, go to www.chfs.ky.gov/agencies/dms .
You can complete the process in four easy steps. This is how it works:
1. Step 1: Prepare. Update your contact information. Make sure Kentucky has your current:
- Mailing address
- Phone number
- Email
- Other contact info
2. Step 2: Notice. You will get a letter from the Kentucky Department of Medicaid. This letter tells you that it’s time to check if you still qualify. The letter will include:
- Information about your coverage
- A renewal form
3. Step 3: Complete. You will need to fill out your form with information about:
- Income
- Household size
- Expenses
- Bank accounts
- Other financial info
- You will need to show proof of your income and other information.
4. Step 4: Submit. Send the filled-out form back by the date in the letter. You should get the letter and form about 30 days before it is due. Return it right away so you don’t lose your benefits.
