We are calling on community organizations, healthcare providers, and advocates to sign our letter requesting an urgent extension of the Medicaid Redetermination deadline for beneficiaries of the Health Care Benefits for Immigrant Adults (HBIA) and Health Care Benefits for Immigrant Seniors (HBIS) programs. This extension is critical to ensure that vulnerable populations, especially immigrants, have the necessary time and support to complete their applications and maintain their healthcare coverage.
Why This Matters:
- Many beneficiaries face significant challenges navigating the Redetermination process, including issues with receiving necessary documents, fear of public charge implications, and difficulties connecting with the Department of Human Services (DHS).
- Without healthcare coverage, individuals risk worsening health conditions, creating more significant health and financial burdens on families and the healthcare system.
- Extending the deadline will provide additional time to support those working multiple jobs or caring for loved ones who might not have had the opportunity to complete their paperwork.
Join us in protecting the health and well-being of our community. Read the full letter and sign the petition to urge our leaders to extend the Medicaid Redetermination deadline.
