The application can be completed online at the Oregon health plan website.

Oregon does not have auto-coverage renewal.

In order to maintain your coverage, you will need to update your information annually. 
Each year, you should receive a paper form in the mail. Make sure to fill this form out and send it back. If you do not, you risk losing your coverage. You can also renew your coverage online. Be sure to report any changes of address to the Oregon Medicaid office to make sure that you receive these annual renewal forms!

Oregon does not have auto-enrollment. 

This means that, if you are eligible for Medicaid til 26 in Oregon, you will need to complete a new application before you are able to receive health care coverage. However, if you are still in care, your caseworker is supposed to help you fill out the application as part of your transition plan. Be sure to ask your caseworker about Medicaid til 26 and what you need to do to get coverage!

Oregon does not provide coverage to relocators.

This means that, if you were in care in another state and then moved to Oregon, you would not be eligible for Medicaid til 26. You may still be able to get health insurance through… 

• Your employer
• Your school 
• Medicaid if you are eligible based on another category. This includes if you are pregnant or a parent or if you qualify based on your income. Check your state’s website for more information. 
• Free or low-cost insurance from your state's Affordable Care Act marketplace.

Additionally, due to the passage of SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act in October of 2018, Oregon will be required to provide coverage to relocators no later than January 1, 2023. This means that, after this date, you will be eligible for Medicaid until age 26 regardless of the state where you aged out of care.
