Important Information from DHHS about Nebraska Medicaid
Parents and guardians with children on Medicaid please make sure the information is up to date with ACCESSNebraska. This will help DHHS be able to reach you if they have questions while completing a renewal.
DHHS is aware that parents and guardians believe their family is no longer eligible for Medicaid. Because of this, some families are not updating their information with ACCESSNebraska. These families and their children may still be eligible for Medicaid but DHHS can't renew their coverage if they don't have the most updated information.
DHHS is reaching out to ensure that Nebraskans do not lose their Medicaid if they still qualify.
Parents and guardians can update their information and get answers about their family’s Medicaid/CHIP coverage by contacting ACCESSNebraska at:
Over the phone by calling:
Additionally, they want to remind Nebraskans that they can apply for Medicaid at any time if:
- They lost their Medicaid but think they may be eligible; or
- They have not had Medicaid but think their family may qualify.
Beginning in 2024, children who are newly eligible for Medicaid will be covered for a full year regardless of a change to their eligibility status. This will help ensure that children on Medicaid have access to the healthcare they need.
