Key things for everyone with Medicaid, CHIP, Healthy Michigan Plan or MiChild insurance coverage to know now
When COVID-19 arrived on the scene in spring 2020, it caused a lot of changes – including changes in the health insurance safety net for adults and children with low incomes.
So many people lost their jobs, or had their work hours cut, during 2020 that an emergency order went into place.
Under this special order, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and other health insurance programs for low-income people temporarily stopped requiring people to prove every year that they still had low incomes. In Michigan, that includes the Healthy Michigan Plan and the MiChild program.
