Patient Is Meeting Doctor

You do not need to do a lot right now. But there are a few important steps to make sure you do not lose your Medicaid coverage

Verification Steps

Report to DHHS anything that might change eligibility or the work requirements- such as job changes, income changes, household changes etc.

Step 1: Make Sure Medicaid Has Your Correct Contact Info

This is the most important step.

If your address, phone number, or email is wrong, you could miss an important message and lose your coverage.

Make sure Medicaid has your correct:

  • Mailing address (including apartment number)
  • Phone number (cell or home)
  • Email address (if you have one)

Updating your information at a hospital or doctor’s office is NOT enough.

Even if your hospital, clinic, or doctor has your new address or phone number, the State of Nebraska does NOT automatically receive that update.

To ensure Nebraska Medicaid has your correct contact information and prevent loss of coverage, immediately update your information via the iServe Nebraska portal, by calling (855) 632-7633, or emailing DHHS.ANDICenter@nebraska.gov.

Step 2: Watch Your Mail, Email, and Phone

Medicaid may send you a letter, email, or text message about the changes.

Watch for messages from Nebraska DHHS or your Medicaid managed care plan.

IMPORTANT: If Medicaid contacts you, you MUST respond within 30 days.

If you do not respond, you could lose your coverage.

Do NOT ignore letters or messages from Medicaid.

Step 3: If the Work Requirement Applies to You — Start Tracking Your Hours

Starting May 1, 2026, you will need to do 80 hours per month of an approved activity.

Keep a simple record. You may need to show proof. Here is what counts as proof:

If you are working:

Pay stubs or employer letter

Your work schedule

Tax forms (W-2 or 1099)

If you are in school or training:

Enrollment letter or transcript

Class schedule

Program completion certificate

If you are volunteering:

Sign-in sheets from the organization

Letter from the volunteer coordinator

 

If you are looking for a job:

Job applications you submitted

NEworks job search records

Notes from a job counselor

Step 4: If Medicaid Does NOT Contact You

Good news: If Medicaid does not send you a letter or message, you do NOT need to send anything.

Just keep your contact info current and watch your mail.
