The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is urging Texans on Medicaid to ensure their information is updated in order to avoid gaps in coverage
The federal government will end the continuous Medicaid coverage requirement on March 31, and all Medicaid recipients will need to have their eligibility redetermined. The HHSC is asking Texans to ensure their contact information is updated so they can more easily contact them when it becomes time to verify coverage needs.

In March 2020 at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, Congress provided states with enhanced Medicaid funding that included a requirement for continuous coverage. Under the federal omnibus spending plan passed into law last month, the continuous coverage requirement ends March 31.
