Higher Ground Four Faith Leaders Inspiring Positive Change

Sitting around a table at the downtown office of the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta, Rev. Joseph Roberts, Jr., Rev. Joanna Adams, Rabbi Alvin Sugarman, and Imam Plemon al-Amin, represent more than a…

Almighty and Everlasting God,

we humbly beseech Thy Majesty

that as They only-begotten Son was this day

presented in the temple in the substance of our flesh,

Medicaid Re-enrollment

If your ministry serves Medicaid/PeachCare for Kids, the Dept. of Human Services has a message and materials for you. 

    • Redetermination began in April 2023. Based on changes in federal law, the State of Georgia must complete redeterminations up to May 2024. We want to ensure current Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids® members are still eligible for coverage. 
    • During redetermination, the State of Georgia will collect and verify member information, including contact and income details as well as other requested information and documents that will be used to determine member eligibility. Not everyone will go through this process at the same time. In fact, it will take about 14 months to reach everyone. 
    • Members can visit gateway.ga.gov to view their redetermination date and to update their contact information today so they can stay informed about the status of their coverage. 
    • Members who need help can visit their local Division of Family & Children Services office for support. To find the location and business hours for local offices, visit: dfcs.ga.gov/location 
    • For more information on Medicaid redetermination, we are including a partner toolkit with resources in multiple languages, please visit “Stay Informed. Stay Covered.”
