In a press release yesterday, DHS announced that through January 2024, Minnesotans on Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare who need extra time will have an additional month to return their renewal paperwork. The extension will help prevent renewal paperwork issues that cause eligible enrollees to lose their health insurance. People are still encouraged to send in their renewal forms and any required documentation as soon as possible to keep insurance coverage. Deadlines have been extended as follows:

• If the previous deadline to renew coverage was Aug. 31, 2023, the new date is Sept. 30, 2023.
• If the previous deadline to renew coverage was Sept. 30, 2023, the new date is Oct. 31, 2023. 
• If the previous deadline to renew coverage was Oct. 31, 2023, the new date is Nov. 30, 2023.
• If the previous deadline to renew coverage was Nov. 30, 2023, the new date is Dec. 31, 2023.
• If the previous deadline to renew coverage was Dec. 31, 2023, the new date is Jan. 31, 2024.
