West Virginia's Medicaid rules are changing, and it will affect thousands of people. Do you or someone you love have Medicaid? It's important to know if these changes apply to you, especially if you need regular care.
Here’s how you could be affected:

🗒️ People who have not updated their info: Has your phone number, address, income, or family size changed? Make sure it’s up to date to avoid losing coverage.
🧑‍🧑‍🧒 Families with children: Kids receiving Medicaid or CHIP could lose coverage if their parent’s info is incorrect.
🩺 People with health problems or disabilities: Check your status and make sure you won’t have a gap in coverage.
