Medicaid is changing in 2027. Here is what you need to know. 💙
Starting January 1, 2027, some adults on PA Medicaid will need to do 80 hours a month of work, volunteering, school or job training. Some people don't have to. This is called an exemption.
✅ In 2027, you can tell DHS your hours yourself. But you still have to answer DHS, or you could lose coverage.
✅ Some adults will renew every 6 months, not once a year.
✅ Keep your address and phone number up to date with DHS.
✅ Watch for texts from 69217. That is DHS.
