Suspension of Benefits During Medicaid Eligibility < Back to Menu

The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 gave policyowners the ability to suspend Medicare supplement insurance premiums and benefits for up to 24 months. You must request suspension within 90 days after becoming eligible for Medicaid. The suspension takes effect as of the date of Medicaid eligibility and premium paid beyond that date is refunded. If you lose Medicaid eligibility within 24 months, you may request automatic reinstatement of your policy as long as the request comes within 90 days after Medicaid eligibility expires.
