Work Requirements and Six-Month Renewals
Beginning in January 2027, some Medicaid (called Medical Assistance/MA in Pennsylvania) recipients will have to meet work requirements AND renew their Medicaid every six months (instead of every 12 months). This unprecedented change creates new rules and additional reporting requirements that could cause people who would usually qualify for Medicaid to lose coverage if they do not report properly and on time.
PA DHS has developed a communications toolkit to assist with outreach to help Medicaid recipients you work with understand these changes and what they must do to keep their Medicaid. Resources available will help you:
- Share information about new Medicaid work requirements and six-month renewals that start in January 2027.
- Remind Medicaid recipients to keep their contact information up-to-date with both PA DHS and the U.S. Postal Service so they do not miss important information and updates.
- Educate Medicaid recipients you work with about exemptions to these rules so they understand what they must do to show they are exempt from work requirements.
- Share information about ways Medicaid recipients can meet the work requirements.
On this page:
How to use this toolkit
Resources are organized chronologically to complement outreach that will be occurring from PA DHS. Materials cover both general information and specific mailings being sent by PA DHS.
Graphics provided are available for use, and you may add your organization’s logo in addition to the PA DHS/Commonwealth logos on graphics. You may also take the post text/copy and create your own graphics. We are working on translations for these materials.
New and updated material will be added as they are developed.
If you need additional resources, please contact ra-pwdhspressoffice@pa.gov, and we will try to accommodate your request.
Please check back often — Thank you for your help in helping our Medicaid recipients prepare for these significant changes so they can stay covered!
Initial Outreach
(August-September 2026)
In August 2026, current Medicaid recipients who are eligible under Medicaid expansion will receive a mailing outlining the upcoming Medicaid work requirements.
The mailing will include:
- How to meet requirements.
- Situations that may make individuals exempt from work requirements.
A copy of the initial outreach mailing is available here. Mailings will go out starting during the last week of August and will be sent over four mailings through September.
Download the Initial Outreach Letter PDF (CM 710):
In addition to the mailing, recipients who we have phone contact information for, will receive the following outreach from PA DHS:
New Medicaid work requirements start in 2027. Find out about requirements, exemptions, and how to report to PA Human Services at www.dhs.pa.gov/MedicaidChanges
This is a message from the PA Department of Human Services about changes to your Medicaid.
Starting in 2027, Medicaid recipients ages 19 to 64 who do not have a dependent child under 14 will have to follow new Medicaid work requirements that require them to work, go to school, be in a training program, volunteer, or do a combination of these for at least 80 hours per month to keep their Medicaid coverage. You can also have an income of $580 or more per month (before taxes). Watch for a letter to arrive in the mail about these changes and which members of your household they apply to. Find more information at www.dhs.pa.gov/medicaidchanges.
Some people may be exempt from work requirements. A list of exemptions is outlined at the end of this call.
You will have to report on your renewal form that you met work requirements or an exemption starting with your first Medicaid renewal in 2027 or you may lose your Medicaid coverage. You can also submit information with your renewal or by uploading documents at www.dhs.pa.gov/COMPASS or on the myCOMPASS PA mobile app.
After your first renewal in 2027, you may switch to completing a Medicaid renewal every 6 months.
More information about work requirements, exemptions, and 6-month Medicaid renewals can be found by visiting www.dhs.pa.gov/medicaidchanges.

Newly Eligible Outreach & Ongoing Preparation
(October-December 2026)
Ongoing Preparation
Continue to share general awareness resources. Renewals take place throughout the year, so Medicaid recipients will have to verify they are meeting work requirements at different points throughout 2027.
We must keep spreading the word so they know what to expect when it is their turn. All toolkit materials continue to be relevant once the initial outreach mailings are complete.
Newly Eligibles
Starting in October, newly eligible Medicaid recipients who are eligible under Medicaid expansion who did not receive the initial outreach will receive the mailing outlining the upcoming Medicaid work requirements. The mailing will include:
- How to meet requirements.
- Situations that may make individuals exempt from work requirements.
Mailings will go out each month through the end of 2026.
In addition to the mailing, recipients who we have phone contact information for will receive the following outreach from PA DHS:

Message 1
Changes are coming to Medicaid!
Starting January 1, 2027, some Medicaid recipients in Pennsylvania will need to meet work requirements and will need to have their Medicaid eligibility checked every six months instead of every year. Medicaid is also called Medical Assistance or MA in Pennsylvania.
Who is affected by the new Medicaid rules?
Medicaid recipients will need to meet these new requirements if they:
- Are 19-64 years old
- Do not have a dependent/child under 14 years old
How do you meet Medicaid work requirements?
A Medicaid recipient can meet work requirements if they do one or a combination of these activities for at least 80 hours a month:
- Work;
- Volunteer or do community service;
- Participate in a job training program; and/or
- Go to school at least half-time
Medicaid recipients may also meet the requirement based on their monthly income if they make at least $580 each month. They may also meet the requirement depending on their income if they do seasonal work, and a caseworker can help calculate if their income meets this option.
Is anyone exempt from Medicaid work requirements?
Some people do not have to meet work requirements to get or keep Medicaid. People who have certain health needs or a disability, are pregnant or recently gave birth, take care of a child or disabled family member, or meet other conditions that exempt them from these requirements.
How do I show I am meeting Medicaid work requirements?
The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services’ (PA DHS’) goal is to help Pennsylvanians understand these changes and meet the new requirements. Current Medicaid recipients affected by these changes will receive a letter in the mail from PA DHS soon that will include information on whether they need to meet these requirements or provide more information to PA DHS about their income or work, volunteer, school, or training activities.
If you or someone you know are affected by the new Medicaid rules, the work requirements will start at your first renewal in 2027. People applying for Medicaid coverage will have to show that they meet work requirements during their application.
[Insert organization-specific information about resources or how you are helping recipients meet requirements.]
For more information on these changes, visit dhs.pa.gov/MedicaidChanges [or insert organization website/contact information here.]

¡Muy pronto habrá cambios en Medicaid!
A partir del 1 de enero de 2027, algunos beneficiarios de Medicaid en Pensilvania deberán cumplir algunos requisitos laborales y se les comprobará su elegibilidad para Medicaid cada seis meses, en lugar de hacerlo cada año. En Pensilvania, a Medicaid también se le conoce como Medical Assistance o MA.
¿A quiénes afectan las nuevas reglas de Medicaid?
Los beneficiarios de Medicaid deberán cumplir con estos nuevos requisitos si:
- Tienen entre 19 y 64 años de edad
- No tienen hijos menores de 14 años de edad a su cargo
¿Cómo se puede cumplir con los requisitos laborales de Medicaid?
Un beneficiario de Medicaid puede cumplir con los requisitos laborales si realiza una de estas actividades, o una combinación de las mismas, durante al menos 80 horas al mes:
- Trabajar;
- Hacer voluntariado o realizar servicios comunitarios;
- Participar en un programa de capacitación laboral; y/o
- Asistir a la escuela a tiempo parcial por lo menos.
Los beneficiarios de Medicaid también pueden cumplir el requisito basándose en sus ingresos mensuales, si ganan 580 dólares al mes como mínimo. También pueden cumplir el requisito en función de sus ingresos si realizan trabajos de temporada, y un asistente social puede ayudarles a calcular si sus ingresos cumplen con esta opción.
¿Hay alguien que esté exento de los requisitos laborales de Medicaid?
Algunas personas no tienen que cumplir con los requisitos laborales para acceder a Medicaid o para conservar sus prestaciones. Se trata de personas que tienen determinadas necesidades de salud o una discapacidad, que están embarazadas o han dado a luz recientemente, que cuidan de un niño o de un familiar con discapacidad, o bien que cumplen con otras condiciones que las eximen de dichos requisitos.
¿Cómo demuestro que cumplo con los requisitos laborales de Medicaid?
El objetivo del Departamento de Servicios Humanos de Pensilvania (PA DHS, por sus siglas en inglés) es el de ayudar a los residentes de Pensilvania a comprender estos cambios y a cumplir con los nuevos requisitos. Los actuales beneficiarios de Medicaid afectados por estos cambios recibirán próximamente una carta por correo (se abre en una nueva pestaña) del DHS de Pensilvania en la que se les informará sobre si deben cumplir con dichos requisitos o facilitar más información al DHS de Pensilvania sobre sus ingresos o sus actividades laborales, de voluntariado, académicas o de capacitación.
Si usted o alguien que conoce se ve afectado por las nuevas normas de Medicaid, los requisitos laborales entrarán en vigor a partir de su primera renovación en 2027. Las personas que soliciten la cobertura de Medicaid tendrán que demostrar que cumplen con los requisitos laborales durante el proceso de solicitud.
[Introduzca información específica acerca de su organización en relación con los recursos o con la forma en que está ayudando a los beneficiarios a cumplir con los requisitos].
