Help Keep Children and Families Covered

 

Help Keep Children and Families Covered

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is asking for help to prevent children and families from losing Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Program coverage as a result of the end of the Federal Public Health Emergency. 

Ways Cooperative Extension Can Help

Partner with your State Medicaid agency to spread the word about renewals. You can find contact information on your State Medicaid agencies here.   

Use CMS’s Communications Toolkit, available in multiple languages, including English and Spanish.

Promote social media content and graphics pulled from CMS’s toolkit on your social media platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.

Uplift HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra’s video (in English and Spanish) on Medicaid renewals across your social media channels.

Visit CMS’s website for more resources.
