Ohio Medicaid Disenollments

April 1^st marks the beginning of Medicaid and CHIP disenrollments in Ohio. As early as 4/1/23, anyone in Ohio deemed ineligible for benefits for things like income limits will be mailed letters to their addresses on file with ODJFS. Any Ohioan who has not successfully re-enrolled in the last 12 months will start to be sent disenrollment letters beginning in May 2023.

As social workers, it is critical that we are supporting our clients as best as we can. We need to make sure we are checking in with our clients to ensure that their contact information on file with ODJFS is up to date, making sure that they are regularly checking their mail in order to respond to requests for information in a timely manner, and helping them transition to other insurance benefits as applicable.
