NY State of Health

Important changes are coming. New federal rules will require New York State to begin redetermining eligibility for public program enrollees in the Spring of 2023.

All enrollees should update their address and contact information with NY State of Health (or their Local Department of Social Services or the New York City Human Resources Administration, if they enrolled through those offices) to ensure their renewal information will reach them. https://on.ny.gov/41fdxY1

Ensure Medicaid, CHPlus and EP enrollees take the necessary steps to renew coverage and transition to other coverage if they are no longer eligible for Medicaid, CHPlus or EP.
