Beginning January 1, 2026, MinnesotaCare enrollees who are undocumented and age 18 or older will no longer qualify for MinnesotaCare due to a change in state law. The coverage closure applies only to enrollees 18 and older. Children under 18 will remain eligible for MinnesotaCare as long as they meet all other program requirements.

Starting November 6, 2025, DHS began closing MinnesotaCare coverage in MMIS for people who are undocumented and age 18 or older. Coverage for all affected enrollees will end on December 31, 2025. The closure process will happen in phases. DHS will first close coverage for enrollees with $0 premiums. After December 1, DHS will close coverage for those who owe a premium for December so they will still receive a notice to pay their premium for December.

DHS will send a /assets/NNLP_November_2025_Notice_tcm34-712301.pdfclosing notice to inform impacted individuals about the change and will begin mailing closing notices today, November 7, 2025.
