JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — For the first time in three years, the state’s social services department will be renewing Missourians on Medicaid to continue coverage.
There are currently around 1.6 million people on Medicaid in Missouri. Since March 2020, states have been prohibited from reverifying if participants are still eligible. With many renewing for the first time, the Department of Social Services (DSS) hopes to make it as easy as possible.
“I don’t want people to worry that we’re just going to open the system and thousands of people are going to lose their coverage day one, that is not going to happen,” Director of the Family Support Services under DSS Kim Evans said.
