Notice of Upcoming Medicaid Changes
|
Changes to Medicaid, also known as Medical Assistance in Pennsylvania, are coming on January 1, 2027, because of changes to federal law. More information is expected to be released, but here is what you need to know for now:
- Some adults will need to renew their Medicaid Plan every six months instead of annually.
- A new requirement means some adults enrolled in Medicaid will need to participate in work, school, job training, volunteering, or other community activities.
If you receive Medicaid, now is a good time to make sure your mailing address and contact information are up to date with DHS so you don't miss important notices about these changes.

If you are 65 or older, a widow/widower 50 or older, or at least 18 with a permanent disability, you may qualify through the state Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program for a rebate on your property taxes or rent paid in 2025.
Applications are now due by December 31st. Don't miss this chance to claim what you're owed. Please reference the chart above to know if you qualify.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: All income from SSA, SSI, SSDI, and survivor benefits only count toward half of the income limit (ex. $16,000/yr from SSA is reduced to $8,000 when calculating returns).
