Federal Medicaid rules are changing in 2027
Medicaid is still here! But there are some upcoming changes that you should know about.
In 2027, federal Medicaid requirements are changing. These requirements only apply to some adults. Check in to see what this means for you.
To keep your coverage, some adults may need to:
- Work or do 80 hours of approved activities in a single month
- Renew their Medicaid more than once a year
Right now, you do not need to do anything. These changes will not start until 2027.
Maryland Health Connection will send you a letter in September 2026 if you will need to meet work requirements when you renew your coverage in 2027.
For now, it’s a good idea to:
- Keep your contact information up to date in your account
- Report changes to your income or family in your account
- Open and read letters from Maryland Health Connection
