Medicaid and CHIP Renewals: Returning to Regular Operations

States across the country are resuming their regular processes for renewing individuals' Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) coverage. As this happens, our goal is to help people who are still eligible for Medicaid and CHIP keep their coverage and help those who are no longer eligible transition to Medicare, employer-sponsored coverage, or Marketplace plans.   

Data from Medicaid and CHIP renewals show how states are resuming regular eligibility operations following the end of the Medicaid continuous enrollment condition in the Families First Coronavirus Response Act. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (CAA, 2023) requires state monthly reporting about activities related to eligibility renewals, call center operations, and transitions to Marketplace coverage. CMS is also providing information such as changes in Medicaid, CHIP and Marketplace enrollment; state operational data; and additional renewal metrics.

CMS Data Release Timeline

CMS is releasing data on a monthly basis. CMS is consolidating data from multiple data sources. Given differences in availability of different data sources, CMS will release each month’s data as part of multiple releases.

Snapshot of July 2024 Data

States are in varying stages of completing unwinding-related renewals with many states’ unwinding timelines extending beyond original estimates due to state mitigations, delays in procedural disenrollments, or state adoption of CMS-approved strategies. As a result, unwinding-related and “regular” renewals (e.g., the second renewal conducted after the end of the Medicaid continuous enrollment condition) will occur at the same time in many states. Starting in the February 2024 reporting period, national renewal data will no longer reflect only work done as part of unwinding processes and will begin to reflect regular renewal processing as well. Read more about 2024 state timelines for unwinding-related renewals.

Snapshot of May 2024 Transition Data

HealthCare.gov is unable to report on whether a HealthCare.gov Marketplace consumer lost Medicaid or CHIP until a few months following the coverage loss date, so data on individuals transitioning from Medicaid or CHIP to HealthCare.gov is available later than data on renewals or early Marketplace data.
