The Arkansas Department of Human Services began sending out notices in February for people to renew their enrollment in Medicaid.
Beginning on April 1, some Arkansans enrolled in Medicaid and ARKIDS will begin to lose their coverage for the first time since early 2020.
During the pandemic, families were not required to reapply each year and many fear that the state may not have accurate contact information for families currently being served. The Arkansas Medicaid Program has determined that 422,112 Medicaid recipients (37% of those currently enrolled) are either ineligible for Medicaid coverage due to information received from recipients (like an income change) or because they have been unable to contact clients based on inaccurate contact information on file.
