Mississippi Medicaid Renewal and Recertification (2026)

A missed renewal can end your Mississippi Medicaid coverage even if you still qualify for it. Under federal law (42 CFR 435.916), the Mississippi Division of Medicaid (DOM) must try to renew you automatically from data it already holds before it asks you for anything, but when a renewal packet does reach you, it has to come back on time. This guide explains how the Mississippi Medicaid renewal cycle works, how to renew through DOM, and the 90-day window to recover coverage if you miss the deadline.

Renew or ask about your case by calling DOM: 1-800-421-2408

Key Facts About Mississippi Medicaid Renewal

Mississippi Medicaid is redetermined at least once every 12 months under federal eligibility rules (42 CFR 435.916); for people who qualify through age, blindness or disability, or long-term care that is a minimum, not a cap.
DOM must first attempt an ex parte (automatic) renewal from data it already holds before asking you for any information; only if it cannot may it request paperwork.
If DOM sends a renewal form, MAGI enrollees get at least 30 days from the date on the form to return it before coverage can lapse; on the age, disability, long-term care, and Medicare Savings Program pathways that window, and the 90-day reconsideration below, are a state option, so work to the deadline your form shows.
If your case closes for missing paperwork, a 90-day reconsideration window lets DOM reconsider your eligibility without a new application.
For aged, blind, and disabled coverage, DOM handles renewals through its regional offices, by mail, and by phone at 1-800-421-2408.
Children under 19 keep Medicaid or CHIP coverage for a full 12 months even if family income rises mid-year (continuous eligibility, mandatory nationwide since January 1, 2024).

Recertification is the most consequential operational moment in your relationship with Medicaid. Eligibility is set once at initial approval, but under 42 CFR 435.916 it is redetermined at least every 12 months after that.

The Mississippi Division of Medicaid (DOM) is the single state Medicaid agency, and for the aged, blind, and disabled (ABD) and long-term care population it processes renewals directly through its regional offices, by mail, and by phone.

The Mississippi Medicaid Renewal Cycle: Once Every 12 Months

Under 42 CFR 435.916, DOM must redetermine eligibility at least once every 12 months. For aged, blind, disabled, long-term-care and Medicare Savings Program beneficiaries that is a minimum, not a ceiling: DOM may redetermine sooner. Your renewal month is set when you are first approved and stays the same calendar month every year after that.

Renewals split into two procedural paths depending on your eligibility category:

MAGI populations (children, pregnant women, parents and caretaker relatives): renewed using Modified Adjusted Gross Income methodology, with income verified through federal and state electronic data sources. In Mississippi the MAGI income limits run to 194% of the federal poverty level for infants under 1 and for pregnant women, 143% for children ages 1 to 6, 133% for children ages 6 to 19, and 209% for separate CHIP coverage; parents and caretaker relatives qualify under a low fixed-dollar standard of roughly $294 per month for a household of one. Because Mississippi has not adopted ACA Medicaid expansion, there is no MAGI pathway for non-disabled, childless adults.
Non-MAGI populations (aged, blind, and disabled; nursing-facility and Home and Community-Based Services waiver; Medicare Savings Programs): renewed under the non-MAGI framework, which includes an asset test. DOM must still attempt an ex parte renewal, but because federal law requires every state to verify assets at renewal through an Asset Verification System (Section 1940 of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. 1396w), non-MAGI renewals clear automatically far less often and usually require bank statements, retirement-account records, life-insurance documentation, and a signed authorization.

Ex Parte Renewal: The Federal Mandate

The single most important rule in modern Medicaid renewal is the ex parte default at 42 CFR 435.916. Before DOM asks you for any information at renewal, it must try to redetermine your eligibility using reliable information already in your account or otherwise available to the agency, including electronic data sources. Only when it cannot renew on that basis may it request information from you.

In Mississippi, ex parte renewal draws on:

Social Security Administration earnings, retirement, and disability records via the federal data hub
Internal Revenue Service tax data (most recent year)
Commercial wage data accessed through the federal hub
Records from other state programs the beneficiary participates in
Medicare entitlement and premium data through CMS
Documentation from the prior renewal cycle

If the data confirm that income remains within the threshold for your category and that household composition and other categorical requirements have not changed, DOM renews the case automatically and sends a notice that coverage continues for another 12 months with no action required.

When ex parte cannot confirm eligibility, DOM comes back to you for what is missing. If your eligibility is based on MAGI, federal law requires DOM to send a renewal form with the information it already holds and to give you at least 30 days from the date of the renewal form to respond, supply any missing information, and sign it. The clock runs from the date printed on the form, not the day it arrives. If you qualify on the basis of age, disability, long-term services and supports, a Medicare Savings Program, or another non-MAGI pathway, federal rules let Mississippi follow that same procedure, including the 90-day reconsideration below, but do not require it, so ask DOM what applies to you. Ex parte fails most often for the same reasons everywhere: income that does not appear in wage databases (self-employment, cash, seasonal work), the asset-verification gap on ABD and long-term care cases, a household change such as a birth or a divorce, or income sitting close to a threshold.

If you declare U.S. citizenship or a satisfactory immigration status and DOM cannot promptly verify it, federal law requires a reasonable opportunity period, ending at the earlier of verification or 90 days after the notice, during which benefits may not be delayed, denied, reduced, or terminated for someone the agency otherwise finds eligible.

How to Renew Mississippi Medicaid

Under 42 CFR 435.916, a renewal may be submitted through any of the modes DOM offers, and the agency may not require an in-person interview to renew. For the ABD and long-term care population, DOM routes these renewals through its regional-office network.

Channel	Method	Notes
Phone	DOM at 1-800-421-2408	A representative can take your information and direct you to the regional office that covers your county; TTY users dial 711
In person	Your DOM regional office	Bring your full packet so staff can flag missing items on the spot
Mail	Return the signed renewal packet to your regional office	Call 1-800-421-2408 first to confirm the correct office address, and use delivery confirmation

Whichever channel you use, keep a copy of everything you submit and note the date. DOM measures its clock from the date a renewal is received, so a mailed submission with delivery confirmation protects your effective date. If you are enrolled in managed care, updating your renewal with DOM is separate from updating your health plan; the plan does not process your eligibility renewal.

The 90-Day Reconsideration Window for a Missed Mississippi Medicaid Renewal

If your case closed because you missed the renewal paperwork, you usually do not have to start over with a new application. Under 42 CFR 435.916, when coverage is terminated for failure to return the renewal form or necessary information (a procedural closure, not an eligibility-based one), DOM must reconsider your eligibility without requiring a new application if you submit the form or information within 90 days after the termination date. That is a federal requirement for MAGI-based coverage; on the non-MAGI pathways above it is a state option, so ask DOM whether it applies to you. In practice, if your case closed on June 30 for a missing form, you have until roughly late September to submit it and have DOM reconsider the case on that basis rather than force a fresh application.

Reconsideration is not a guarantee of gap-free, backdated coverage: federal law requires DOM to reconsider without a new application, but whether reinstated coverage reaches back to the closure date depends on how the state processes the case, so confirm your effective date with DOM when you submit.

One timing point matters: the 90-day clock runs from the termination date, not the notice date. Read your closure notice carefully.

To use the window, submit the renewal form (often the same one you received) through DOM. If you no longer have it, call 1-800-421-2408 to request a new one, and note the closure date prominently so DOM routes the case correctly.

Children and Postpartum Coverage

Two federal protections keep specific groups covered through income changes that would otherwise end a renewal.

Children under 19. Section 5112 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 requires every state to give children under 19 in Medicaid or CHIP 12 months of continuous eligibility from the date of enrollment, effective January 1, 2024. Once a child is enrolled, coverage holds for 12 months regardless of family income. If a parent loses Medicaid mid-year because household income rose, the children stay covered until their next annual renewal. Mid-year termination is limited to a handful of exceptions: the child turns 19, moves out of Mississippi, dies, the family voluntarily disenrolls, or there is a program violation.

Pregnant and postpartum coverage. Federal law lets states extend Medicaid for a full 12 months after the end of pregnancy, a permanent state option under Section 1902(e)(16) of the Social Security Act after the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 removed the original sunset. Where the extension applies, coverage continues through the end of the 12th postpartum month regardless of income, and the annual renewal cycle resumes after that period ends.

Long-Term Care and Waiver Renewals

If you receive Medicaid long-term care in a nursing facility or through the Elderly and Disabled (E&D) Waiver, your renewal has two independent parts, and both must stay current.

Financial redetermination

DOM runs the financial review on the annual cycle, and it includes the asset test federal law requires the state to verify at renewal through the Asset Verification System. Mississippi's long-term care financial rules for 2026 set an income limit of $2,982 per month (300% of the SSI federal benefit rate) and a countable-asset limit of $4,000 for a single applicant, with the home excluded unless equity exceeds $752,000 and a 60-month look-back on asset transfers. Because Mississippi is an income-cap state, a beneficiary whose gross income exceeds the cap keeps eligibility through a Qualified Income Trust (Miller Trust); if that trust lapses or is funded incorrectly, the renewal can fail even when nothing else changed.

At renewal DOM also re-confirms the patient-liability math and spousal protections. A nursing-facility resident keeps a personal needs allowance of $44 per month, or $90 for a veteran or surviving spouse receiving a $90 VA pension. For a married couple, the community spouse may keep up to $162,660 in combined countable resources for 2026, with a maximum monthly maintenance allowance of $4,066.50.

Level-of-care reassessment

Separately, your continued need for a nursing-facility level of care is reassessed. For the E&D Waiver, DOM's Office of Long Term Care administers the program and case management is handled by the local Planning and Development Districts, which is where the reassessment and service planning run. The two reviews are independent: a beneficiary can pass the financial redetermination and fail the level-of-care reassessment, or the reverse. If the level-of-care finding is not approved, long-term care Medicaid ends, though the person may continue on standard ABD Medicaid for non-long-term-care coverage if otherwise eligible.

Returned Mail and Managed Care

The federal rules that once required an agency to search for a new address before acting on mail that comes back as undeliverable were removed from the Code of Federal Regulations effective July 31, 2026. Federal law now says only that an agency may act without advance notice when mail returns with no forwarding address and your whereabouts are unknown, and that coverage must be reinstated if your whereabouts become known while you are still eligible. Mississippi may still have its own returned-mail procedures, so call DOM if you think your renewal packet went to an old address.

Keeping your contact information current is the part you control. Most Medicaid beneficiaries here receive services through MississippiCAN (MSCAN), the statewide coordinated care program DOM delivers through three coordinated care organizations: Magnolia Health, Molina Healthcare, and TrueCare. To update your address, call DOM at 1-800-421-2408 or visit your regional office, update it with your CCO, and file a USPS change of address after any move.

What Changes After 2026

Section 71107 of the 2025 federal budget-reconciliation law (H.R.1, Public Law 119-21) requires states to redetermine eligibility once every 6 months rather than every 12 months for the ACA expansion-adult population, for renewals scheduled on or after January 1, 2027. Its one exemption covers an Indian or Urban Indian, a California Indian, or anyone eligible for Indian Health Service care; everyone else stays on the 12-month cycle. Because Mississippi has not adopted ACA Medicaid expansion, it has no expansion-adult group for the 6-month cadence to reach, so the change has limited direct effect on current Mississippi enrollees.

The same law also shortens retroactive eligibility for applications filed on or after January 1, 2027, to two months before the application month for most enrollees (one month for the expansion group), down from the long-standing three-month default that still applies through 2026.

If Your Coverage Is Terminated

Whether you have a 90-day reconsideration window or need a new application turns on why the case closed.

Termination type	What it means	Reconsideration available?
Procedural	Failure to return the renewal form, a missing signature, or no response to a request for information	Yes; DOM reconsiders without a new application if you submit within 90 days of termination
Eligibility-based	DOM determined you no longer meet income, asset, residency, or categorical rules	No; file a new application or appeal the finding

Separately, you have a federal right to a fair hearing if your renewal is denied or your coverage is terminated, under Section 1902(a)(3) of the Social Security Act and 42 CFR 431.220. Federal law caps the request window at 90 days from the date the notice is mailed, and 90 days is the most a state may allow, not a minimum you are entitled to. A state may set a shorter deadline, and that shorter deadline binds you. Mississippi sets its deadline at 30 days from the date of mailing on the notice, so go by the date printed on your notice of action and do not wait.

Mississippi's process has two steps and is internal to DOM: a local hearing (an informal review by a Medicaid Regional Office supervisor who did not handle the original action), and, if you are still dissatisfied, a state hearing before a DOM State Hearing Officer, after which the Director of the Division of Medicaid issues the final agency decision and judicial review is the only further recourse. Request a hearing through the Medicaid Regional Office shown on your notice, in person, by mail, by phone, or by fax or email.

If you already have Medicaid or CHIP, you can keep coverage during the appeal (aid paid pending), but only if you request the hearing within 15 days of the date of mailing on the notice, a tighter window than the 30 days to request the hearing itself. This tracks the federal continued-services rule at 42 CFR 431.230, which keys continuation to requesting a hearing before the action takes effect; if DOM's action is later upheld, the agency may recover the cost of the services furnished solely because your coverage continued, not of everything you received during the appeal. If you are in MississippiCAN and the dispute is with your plan, you must exhaust the CCO's internal appeal before requesting a DOM fair hearing.

Common Mississippi Medicaid Renewal Mistakes

Treating the renewal packet like junk mail. Pull anything from DOM out of the mail pile and open it; a missed paperwork deadline closes the case.
Assuming ex parte will handle everything. Ex parte succeeds for only a share of renewals, and almost never for ABD or long-term care because of the asset check; the rest need the returned packet.
Updating your address with one CCO but not with DOM. Update both, plus USPS. Federal rules no longer require an agency to hunt for a new address when mail is returned, so a stale address is riskier than it used to be.
Not knowing the 90-day reconsideration window exists. A procedural closure can be reconsidered without a new application if you submit within 90 days.
Missing the AVS signature on an ABD or long-term care renewal. Without your asset-verification authorization, DOM cannot run the bank-record check and the renewal stalls.
Letting a Miller Trust lapse. For an over-income long-term care beneficiary, a Qualified Income Trust that is unfunded or funded wrong can sink a renewal on its own.
Waiting past 15 days when you want to keep coverage during an appeal. Mississippi requires the hearing request within 15 days of the mailing date to continue benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I have to renew Mississippi Medicaid?

At least once every 12 months for most beneficiaries. Your renewal month is tied to your initial approval date and stays the same each year. Under 42 CFR 435.916 that 12 months is a minimum, not a cap, for aged, blind, disabled and long-term-care beneficiaries, who may be reviewed sooner. A federal change moves the ACA expansion-adult group to a 6-month cycle starting January 1, 2027, but Mississippi has not expanded, so it has no such group.

Can I renew Mississippi Medicaid online?

For the aged, blind, and disabled and long-term care population, DOM handles renewals through its regional offices, by mail, and by phone at 1-800-421-2408. Call to confirm the office and address that cover your county before mailing anything.

What happens if I miss my renewal deadline?

Your coverage closes at the end of your renewal month. If the closure was procedural (you did not return paperwork or respond to a request for information), DOM must reconsider your eligibility without a new application if you submit the form within 90 days of the termination date. Confirm your effective date with DOM, and if you miss the 90-day window, you must file a new application.

My income went up mid-year. Does my child lose coverage?

No. Under federal continuous-eligibility rules, mandatory nationwide since January 1, 2024, children under 19 have 12 months of continuous coverage from the date of enrollment. Even if your income rises above the threshold, your child keeps Medicaid or CHIP until the next annual renewal, aside from a few exceptions like turning 19 or moving out of state.

Why does my ABD renewal need bank statements?

ABD and long-term care Medicaid have an asset limit, and federal law (Section 1940 of the Social Security Act) requires the state to verify assets at renewal through an Asset Verification System, which automated income data cannot do on its own. DOM reviews recent bank statements, retirement accounts, and life-insurance records to confirm you remain under the $4,000 single-applicant limit, and the check needs your signed authorization.

How do I appeal a Mississippi Medicaid denial or termination?

Request a hearing through the Medicaid Regional Office shown on your notice within 30 days of the mailing date, in person, by mail, by phone, or by fax or email. To keep coverage during the appeal, request the hearing within 15 days of the mailing date. Federal law lets a state allow as much as 90 days to request a hearing, but 90 days is a ceiling, not your entitlement: Mississippi's 30-day deadline is the one that binds you, so go by the date on your notice and act quickly.

My mail was returned. Will DOM close my case automatically?

Federal law no longer answers that question. The rules that once required an agency to search for a new address before acting on returned mail were removed from the Code of Federal Regulations effective July 31, 2026, and what survives is narrower, as the returned-mail section above explains. Mississippi may still have its own procedures, so ask DOM. Either way, update your address with DOM and your CCO as soon as you move.
