All Medicaid programs have an annual Answer: reevaluation process, so the fact that you received the notice is not unusual. You should, however, take the reevaluation process seriously because coverage can be terminated, sometimes even retroactively, if the caseworker finds problems.

For instance, my firm has worked with clients who overlooked a small life insurance policy when they initially applied for Medicaid. During reevaluation, they were threatened with a termination of benefits if that policy was not immediately assigned in a manner allowed by Medicaid rules.

Another client reported on the initial application mineral interests in non-producing oil wells. They were approved because the interests were assigned almost no value. However, the wells later started producing and income checks started coming in. Both the new value of the mineral interests and the income they were receiving proved to be major problems.

If you are certain that nothing has changed since the time you first applied, the reevaluation process may be uneventful. But if you have any concerns, our firm is ready to help. Either way, it is crucial that you take the process seriously.
