MN extends deadline for Medicaid recipients to keep coverage

By Pat Sweeney Jun 30, 2023 | 3:58 PM

Minnesota is extending its deadline for eligible Medicaid recipients to give 35,000 people more time to complete and submit their renewal paperwork to maintain their coverage.

Minnesota’s original plan was to start removing ineligible people from Medicaid in July.

That already put it among the last batch of states to resume disenrollment after the end of a pandemic prohibition on trimming Medicaid rolls.

The Biden administration has urged states to slow down their Medicaid eligibility determinations out of concerns that too many people who may actually be eligible are getting dropped for not returning their paperwork.
