How to renew

Download helpful tips brochure

It's important to renew your CHIP/Children's Medicaid coverage to prevent a lapse in coverage.

Two months before your coverage is due to end you will be mailed a renewal packet that contains an application with some of your information already filled in.

  1. Update information as needed.
  2. Fill in all the questions that have been left blank.
  3. Make sure to send in copies of at least one paycheck stub or other document reflecting each family member's income and expenses.
  4. Sign and date the application then send it in using the postage-paid return address envelope.

Missing information or documents may cause a delay in processing your application.

Call 1-877-KIDS-NOW (1-877-543-7669) to get help renewing your coverage.
