When it’s time for MassHealth to review your eligibility, they will look at federal and state data sources to see if you still qualify for MassHealth. Here’s what may happen next:
If MassHealth is able to confirm that you are still eligible, they may renew you automatically. If they do, they will send you a letter telling you your MassHealth coverage was renewed. If you get this type of letter, you don’t need to do anything.
If MassHealth cannot verify your information electronically, they will send you a large blue envelope that includes a letter and a pre-filled renewal application.
Here’s a checklist to help you complete your application:
-
Take action by the deadline listed in the letter
-
Complete your renewal application in one of three ways:
-
Online – Login to your MA Login Account or create an account if you don’t already have one
-
By phone – Call MassHealth at 1-800-841-2900 (TTY: 711)
-
By mail or fax – Complete, update and sign the application. Then follow the directions on the form to mail or fax it to MassHealth.
-
MassHealth will review your application and will send you a request for information (RFI) notice if they require additional documents from you. Check your mail often after submitting your renewal application to make sure you don’t miss this notice. You will need to submit the necessary documents by the deadline. MassHealth may request documents that show important changes, such as:
-
Change of address
-
New social security numbers (SSNs) for people applying
-
Federal tax returns, if you file
-
Changes in health coverage offered
-
Changes to immigration or citizenship status
-
Pay stubs or employer statements
-
Get help filling out the application if you need it. Be sure to rely on trusted sources, such as:
Note: Never share your personal data or documents with people who are not trusted sources. EAs will never ask you to pay for helping you complete your application.
When MassHealth renews your eligibility, your Tufts Health Unify coverage will continue. You will not have to take further action to keep your Tufts Health Unify plan.
