医疗补助扩围群体资格复核拟改为每半年一次：新罕布什尔州书面意见征集10月30日截止、2027年1月1日起适用
新罕布什尔州卫生与公众服务部提出的一项规则修改，将要求医疗补助扩围群体的大多数成年人每六个月接受一次资格复核，而不是现行的每年一次，书面意见征集于10月30日截止。
该提案修改的是州规则He-W 884.02，适用对象为联邦成年人扩围类别的受益人，新的复核周期将适用于2027年1月1日及之后排定的续期，某些受联邦法律认定的美洲印第安人与阿拉斯加原住民受益人可获例外。
州卫生与公众服务部已于10月23日在康科德市布朗大楼礼堂举行了现场听证会，书面意见可发至该部公布的邮箱或传真603-271-5590，截止日为10月30日，但未公布具体的截止时刻。
提案方强调，这只是一项规则提案，不是取消通知，公开记录中没有显示任何具名人士将因此失去福利。支持者认为更频繁的复核有助于及时更新资格信息，批评者则担心半年一次的复核会增加受益人和经办机构的负担。规则最终是否按提案通过、以及过渡期如何安排，将在意见征集结束后由州卫生与公众服务部进一步决定。

New Hampshire Proposes Six-Month Medicaid Redeterminations for Expansion Adults: Written Comments Due October 30, Applying from January 1, 2027
Concord, New Hampshire — A rule change proposed by the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services would require most adults in the Medicaid expansion group to undergo eligibility redetermination every six months instead of annually. Written comments were due October 30.
The proposal amends state rule He-W 884.02 and applies to beneficiaries in the federal adult expansion category. The new cycle would apply to renewals scheduled on or after January 1, 2027, with exceptions for certain American Indian and Alaska Native beneficiaries recognized under federal law.
The department held an in-person hearing on October 23 in the Brown Building auditorium in Concord. Written comments could be sent to the department's published email address or by fax to 603-271-5590 by October 30; no specific cutoff time was published.
The department emphasized that this is a rule proposal, not a cancellation notice, and the public record does not show that any named person will lose benefits. Supporters say more frequent reviews keep eligibility information current; critics worry a six-month cycle will burden beneficiaries and administering agencies. Whether the rule is adopted as proposed, and how any transition is handled, will be decided by the department after the comment period.
