Medicaid redetermination is the process states use to re-evaluate whether individuals and families still qualify for Medicaid coverage. This routine review, also known as Medicaid renewal, ensures that only those who meet the program’s eligibility requirements continue to receive benefits. During the COVID-19 pandemic, redeterminations were temporarily paused due to federal protections, allowing millions of people to retain their coverage without annual reviews.
