To keep your children covered, you have to renew every year — It's not automatic. Renewal forms will be sent to you approximately 45 days before your coverage ends.
To renew your coverage, you will need the following information:
- Renewal Notice from your County Assistance Office
- Income amounts for your entire household before taxes: all forms of income (for example — your paycheck, social security, pension, workers' compensation, unemployment, etc.)
- Social Security Numbers and birthdates for all applicants
- Private health insurance information (if you have or had private health insurance in the last 90 days)
