Keep your Medicaid. Know the new rules.

Work, study or help.

NEW RULES ARE COMING FOR MEDICAID.

We want to make sure you know about them so you can do what’s needed to keep your coverage. And we want to make sure you know we’re here to help.

HERE’S WHAT’S CHANGING:

New rules start May 1, 2026. This means you may need to do 80 hours a month of work, school or helping in your community.

If you are sick, pregnant or taking care of young kids, you may not need to do this. There may be other reasons you may not need to do this too.

HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW:

1: See if the new rules apply to you. Visit the Nebraska DHHS Work Requirement website.

2: Make a plan. Start now to figure out how you can meet the hours.

3: Get help if you need it. Call Member Services at 1-844-385-2192 TTY: 711. We’ll helpyou every step of the way.
