Retroactive Medical Assistance coverage for seniors and people with disabilities will be reduced from 3 months to 2 months starting Jan. 1, 2028. This will cause an estimated $3.9 million in additional medical debt in one year for this group.

Federal changes reducing retroactive coverage to one or two months (depending on eligibility) will take effect in Minnesota on Jan. 1, 2028. Those cuts will shift significant costs to the poorest Minnesotans and increase uncompensated care for providers.
