Adhering to the Federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) directive, effective April 1, 2023, the State resumed normal operations, including restarting full Medicaid and CHIP eligibility renewals and terminations of coverage for individuals who are no longer eligible. States can terminate Medicaid enrollment for individuals no longer eligible. States will have up to 14 months to return to normal eligibility and enrollment operations.
As of April 30, 2023, there were 5,678 medical applications 45 days or older, (2% higher than previously reported in June 2022), but still a significant reduction (96%) from a high of 147,038 at the end of January 2019. As of the same date, there were 6,789 total medical renewals on hand, a significant decrease since the last reporting (9,412 were reported for June 30, 2022.)
In addition, the DHFS has established June 30, 2024, as the completion date for - (1) updating the system to force processing of a redetermination when a form is received, and a worker attempts another type of action (currently at 70% completion), and (2) developing reports for the DHFS and the Illinois Department of Human Services to identify redeterminations that have been received but not yet processed (currently at 80% completion).
