In the months before a child’s coverage is due to end, HHSC will send the family a renewal packet in the mail. The renewal packet contains an application. It also includes a letter asking for an update on the family’s income and cost deductions. The family needs to:
Notification of Renewal: Once HHSC receives the renewal application and documents of proof, staff checks to see if the children in the family still qualify for their current program or if they qualify for a different program.
If a child is referred to another program (Medicaid or CHIP), HHSC sends the family a letter telling them about the referral and then looks to see if the child can get benefits in the other program. If the child qualifies, the coverage in the new program (Medicaid or CHIP) begins the month following the last month of the other program’s coverage.
During renewal, the family can pick new medical and dental plans by calling the CHIP/Children’s Medicaid call center at 1.800.964.2777.
En los meses previos a la finalización de la cobertura de un niño, HHSC enviará a la familia un paquete por correo para renovar. El paquete de renovación contiene una solicitud. También incluye una carta solicitando una actualización sobre las deducciones de ingresos y costos de la familia. La familia necesita:
Notificación para renovar: Una vez que HHSC recibe la solicitud y los comprobantes para renovar, el personal verifica si los niños de la familia aún califican para su programa actual o si califican para un programa diferente.
Si a un niño se le refiere a otro programa (Medicaid o CHIP), HHSC envía a la familia una carta informándoles sobre la derivación y luego vea si el niño puede obtener beneficios en el otro programa. Si el niño califica, la cobertura en el nuevo programa (Medicaid o CHIP) empieza el mes siguiente al último mes de la cobertura del otro programa.
Durante la renovación, la familia puede elegir nuevos planes médicos y dentales llamando al centro de llamadas de CHIP / Children’s Medicaid al 1.800.964.2777.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government declared a public health emergency (PHE) and passed a law that allowed you to automatically keep your Medicaid coverage since March 2020.
The timing is unknown, but HHSC may soon be directed to end Medicaid coverage for recipients who are not eligible but continued to be covered due to the PHE. HHSC will review your information to determine if your coverage will continue.
If you don’t respond to renewal or information requests from HHSC, you may lose benefits when automatic coverage ends. If you receive a notice from HHSC that says you still have benefits but are no longer eligible, you may lose benefits when automatic coverage ends.

En respuesta a la pandemia del COVID-19, el gobierno federal declaró una emergencia de salud pública (PHE) y aprobó una ley que le ha permitido a usted mantener automáticamente su cobertura de Medicaid desde marzo de 2020.
No se sabe cuándo, pero es posible que la Comisión de Salud y Servicios Humanos (HHSC) reciba pronto la orden de poner fin a la cobertura de Medicaid para los beneficiarios que no reúnen los requisitos pero que siguieron teniendo cobertura debido a la PHE. La HHSC revisará su información para determinar si su cobertura continuará.
Si no responde a los avisos de renovación o a las solicitudes de información de la HHSC, podría perder sus beneficios cuando termine la cobertura automática. Si recibe un aviso de la HHSC que dice que usted todavía tiene beneficios pero que ya no reúne los requisitos, podría perder sus beneficios cuando termine la cobertura automática.
