Medicaid Card - NY
Just short of a month ago, my child applied and was approved for Medicaid bc they are being kicked off my insurance next month when they turn 26. Their Medicaid ID card has still not come in the mail. We had Medicaid almost 20 years ago before I had this job and insurance. I didn’t think we still had the ID cards around, but to my surprise apparently I DID save them and found them last night in my dresser! The ID number on their newly created account matches the ID number on their card from 20 years ago. So I’m assuming the reason the state hasn’t sent a new card is because they assume we have the old one, which I honestly can’t believe I saved lol but I’m glad I did. BUT the back of the old card is signed by me since they were a small child back then. Can/should they still request a new card be mailed to them or could they really use that old one?
