How Changes to Medicaid May Impact You
New Work Requirements
Starting in 2027, adults on Granite Advantage must meet work and community engagement requirements if they do not qualify for an exemption.
Eligibility and Verification Changes
Adults on Granite Advantage must renew their eligibility every six months instead of once a year.
New Costs to Patients Insured by Medicaid
New state law will charge monthly premiums to some families on CHIP and Granite Advantage enrollees, once federal approval is granted.
Changing Medicaid will take away health care from the very people the program was intended to protect. In New Hampshire, you likely know someone who receives health care through Medicaid — your friend and their young children, your parent or grandparent in a nursing home, your neighbor, employees at your local businesses. Sweeping changes won't make health care more affordable; it will just raise costs for everyone.
