Medicaid Changes 2027 (HR1)

Starting January 1, 2027, some Coloradans who are part of Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid program) will be impacted by federal changes to Medicaid.

What are the Changes?

Medicaid renewals will happen more often: Every six months, instead of once per year
There will be requirements for work or community engagements for some adults (ages 19 to 64) on Medicaid. These changes do not impact everyone, and not everyone will be affected in the same way.
You can find out if may be affected here: Work Requirements Screener
