In his proposed budget for FY 16, the Governor is anticipating that MassHealth average annual enrollment will drop by 200,000 people between FY 2015 & FY 2016 due to redeterminations/renewals.
MassHealth suspended annual renewals for most people under age 65 from Oct. 2013 to Feb. 2015. MassHealth resumed annual renewals in February 2015. This year and next approximately 1.2 million people must complete a reapplication in order to have their eligibility redetermined under new rules that count households and income in a new way.
