Federal Medicaid regulations require that states attempt to automatically renew medical assistance for those who are currently enrolled with open case files that have verifiable income from an electronic source before sending a paper renewal form and requesting information from the enrollee.

This simplified renewal process is known as the “ex parte” or “auto renewal” process.

• The Minnesota Eligibility Technology System (METS) will manually auto renew behind the scenes and determine whether Medical Assistance for families with children and single adults can be completed or if a renewal form needs to be submitted to redetermine eligibility.
• County financial workers will attempt to renew Medical Assistance for people who are age 65 or older, with blindness or who have a disability and meet certain autorenewal criteria.

You may be eligible for an autorenewal if you meet any of the criteria below.

Financial workers can verify your income electronically by:

• Social Security income.
• Retirement, Survivors, and Disability Insurance.
• Railroad Retirement Benefits.
