Understanding the Renewal Process

Preparing for renewals: Understanding the renewal process

The renewal process (sometimes called redetermination or RRR) for Health First Colorado and CHP+ members occurs annually. We’ve made important improvements and continue to work with members and county partners to refine the process.

Key message for trusted partners:

Learn about the renewal process from administrative and member perspectives so that you can help members through it when the PHE ends.

PHE Status: Extended with May 11 Expected End Date

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra has formally extended the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE). The PHE can be extended for up to 90 days at a time and is expected to end on May 11, 2023. The Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget, issued a Statement of Administration Policy on Jan. 30, 2023, that the Administration plans to extend the PHE to May 11. A USDHHS Fact Sheet: COVID-19 Public Health Emergency Transition Roadmap details federal policies that won’t and will change as the PHE ends on May 11.

SNAP benefits are decreasing for Coloradans starting in March. Get more information.
