Basic Requirements for Conducting Ex Parte Renewals of Medicaid and CHIP Eligibility
The purpose of this CIB is to remind states about current requirements and expectations for
renewing eligibility for Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries based on reliable information available
to the state without contacting the beneficiary, also referred to as an ex parte renewal.1
Although this CIB addresses verification of all criteria for eligibility during an ex parte renewal, it focuses
largely on requirements and state options for verifying financial eligibility.
