A Final Update to MaineCare Unwinding

December 12, 2024

Maine's Medicaid program (MaineCare) successfully concluded a process known as the "unwinding" of the continuous Medicaid eligibility requirement. Following the end of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency in 2023, updates to federal rules meant that every MaineCare member needed to have their coverage reviewed to ensure they could remain eligible. This process began in May 2023, and eligibility redeterminations were completed by October 31, 2024, with nearly 80% of Maine people successfully renewing their MaineCare coverage.
