OHP Eligibility Redetermination

Coming off the COVID pandemic, the Oregon Health Plan is redetermining eligibility for the program based on participant income. As of April 1st, officials have begun cross checking the eligibility of all current participants in Oregon Medicaid, with plans to finish by June 2024. 

If you are a Medicaid/OHP recipient, you will be receiving a renewal notice from the Oregon Health Authority at some point between now and January 2024. Ensure that your contact information is accurate on their systems, as once you are contacted, you have 90 days to reply to information requests. Thankfully, all children under the age of 6 will not have their eligibility redetermined until they age out of the program.
