Indiana and federal leaders approved Medicaid changes that may affect your health coverage. Some of these changes may start as early as July 1, 2026.

What May Happen

The Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) may look more closely at Medicaid forms to make sure the information is correct and to see if you still qualify for coverage.

  • They may check details like your income, where you live, your job, who lives in your home, and your citizenship or immigration status.
  • FSSA may send letters asking for more information. You may need to send papers, update your information, or reply by a certain date to keep your coverage.
