Reporting Changes to Medicaid

If your child has Medicaid coverage, he or she needs to report any changes in earned income, unearned income, and living arrangements within 10 days of the change. You and your child's other parent must also report changes if you live with the child and your child either gets Medicaid through Georgia Pathways to Coverage or is under 18.

How to report changes depends on how your child qualifies for Medicaid:

• If your child gets Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits or qualifies for SSI 1619(b), he or she only has to report to the local Social Security office.
• If your child doesn't get SSI, these are the best ways to report:

  • Online at Georgia Gateway

  • Using the GA Gateway Mobile App available in the Google Play or Apple App stores, or

  • By calling 1-877-423-4746.

• If your child has Medicaid through Georgia Pathways to Coverage, your child may also need to report qualifying activities:

  • Online at Georgia Gateway

  • Using the GA Gateway Mobile App (on Google Play or Apple App)
    

  • By calling 1-877-423-4746, or

  • In person at your local Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) office.
    

Note: For Georgia Pathways to Coverage, your child may qualify for a reasonable modification, which could impact the reporting of qualifying activities. Get more information about reasonable modifications.
