A new federal law (H.R.1) is changing who qualifies for Medicaid.

You may also know Kansas Medicaid by KanCare.

Some immigrants may lose coverage starting October 1, 2026.

Here’s what you need to know:

Some immigrants, including but not limited to refugees, asylees, humanitarian parolees and survivors of domestic violence or human trafficking will no longer qualify for Medicaid. Individuals in this group may still qualify for Emergency Medical Care for Non-Citizens (formerly known as SOBRA).

You will remain eligible if you are:

• A U.S. Citizen

• A lawful permanent resident (green card holder)

• A migrant and citizen of the freely associated states (COFA migrant)

• A Cuban or Haitian migrant
