Michigan Department of Health and Human Services announce Medicaid eligibility
redeterminations. Starting in June, Michigan resumes Medicaid eligibility redeterminations to
comply with federal legislation.
During the federal COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, Congress enacted the Families First
Coronavirus Response Act that required state Medicaid agencies continue health care coverage
for all medical assistance programs, even if someone's eligibility changed. Michigan’s Medicaid
caseload grew by more than 700,000 people during the public health emergency. This
requirement was ended by the federal Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 signed Dec. 29,
2022.
Michiganders who no longer qualify for Medicaid will receive additional information about
other affordable health coverage options available, including on HealthCare.gov.
