A KFF survey of state Medicaid officials examines state Medicaid and CHIP eligibility, enrollment, and renewal policies in place as of January 2025 as states return to routine operations following the unwinding of the continuous enrollment provision. The survey finds that states have broadly adopted policy and system changes to automate and improve the accuracy and efficiency of Medicaid enrollment and renewal processes and provides a baseline of state policies ahead of potential changes to the program.

Since 2000, KFF’s Program on Medicaid and the Uninsured has issued regular updates examining changes and trends in the eligibility rules, enrollment and renewal procedures and cost-sharing practices in Medicaid and CHIP. Those reports are compiled here.
