West Virginia (WOAY) The West Virginia Department of Human Services is encouraging Medicaid members to stay informed as new federal requirements are set to take effect in 2027.
Beginning January 1, 2027, certain adults enrolled in Medicaid will be required to meet community engagement requirements as a condition of eligibility.
State officials say they are upgrading eligibility systems to automate verification processes and reduce paperwork whenever possible.
Medicaid members are encouraged to ensure their contact information is current, read all communications from the Department of Human Services, and visit the state’s new website for updates and information about the upcoming changes.
To help members navigate upcoming changes, DoHS has launched WVMedicaidHelp.org. providing information about community engagement requirements, exemptions, frequently asked questions, and future updates as additional federal guidance becomes available.
