Six-Month Eligibility Renewals for Certain Adults

Beginning in January 2027, a new federal law requires states to review the eligibility of Medicaid Expansion members every 6 months, instead of every 12, through the Medicaid renewal process. 

Virginia Medicaid is committed to helping eligible members understand upcoming federal changes, complete any required steps, and maintain their health coverage whenever possible. For additional information about these critical changes, including materials to promote them, please take a look at the Federal Work Requirement toolkits.
