CMS Informational Bulletin: Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program Requirements for Providing, Prepopulating and Accepting Eligibility Renewal Forms

On December 20, CMS issued an informational bulletin which outlines requirements related to renewal forms that states provide to Medicaid and CHIP enrollees. CMS offers detailed guidance on the required elements of the renewal form (e.g., which information should be requested and prepopulated), and the required modalities and timelines associated with the renewal form. The appendix to the guidance also includes a checklist that states may refer to for the elements that should be included in their renewal forms.
