Update on MaineCare Citizenship and Identity Requirement
MaineCare requires proof of citizenship
and identity for many people to get or keep
their coverage. This rule has been in effect
since the summer of 2007. Many thousands
of MaineCare members have met this
requirement. But, nearly 20,000 people still
have not submitted the documents to prove
their U.S. citizenship or identity. They must
act soon, or they may lose or not get their
MaineCare.

documentation requirements here.
Parents must fill out a simple form to prove
the identity of their children if they don’t have
other types of documentation. Use this form for children
16 and 17.
Consumers for Affordable Health Care
(CAHC) has a Help Line that can answer
questions about the citizenship and identity
verification requirement. They will walk
people through the steps they need to take to
get the necessary documentation.
The CAHC Help Line number is
1-800-965-7476.
