Medicaid recipients face new renewal requirements beginning in 2027

Allegheny County officials are launching a communitywide campaign to help residents maintain Medicaid coverage as new federal eligibility requirements take effect Jan. 1, 2027. The changes, enacted under the federal Big Beautiful Bill Act, will require many Medicaid recipients to renew their coverage every six months and answer additional questions on lengthy renewal forms. County officials and health care providers say the outreach effort is intended to prevent eligible residents from losing coverage because they miss deadlines or struggle to navigate the renewal process. “Too many people risk losing health coverage even if they are working or eligible for exemptions simply because they are unaware of new requirements or don’t know where to turn for help,” County Executive Sara Innamorato said. Organizations across the county team up The Allegheny County Department of Human Services is partnering with health care providers and community organizations to offer training, public information sessions, text reminders and online advertising.

Penn State trustees approve $16.6M upgrades on Thompson Hall. What to know

Penn State’s board of trustees approved a $16.6 million construction project Friday to upgrade residence hall Thompson Hall, primarily by renovating all bathrooms and adding student amenities. The project will replace 76-year-old communal bathrooms with “shared private” bathrooms, with one added for about every six beds. The laundry room will also be refurbished with new gas dryers, a community kitchen will be installed, and six bedrooms (with 14 beds) will also be added. The move comes on the heels of the university announcement it is facing a $124 million shortfall driven by declining enrollment and rising health insurance costs. But Housing and Food Services (HFS) operates as a self-supporting unit, similar to athletics, and officials explained funds remain in the unit’s reserve. “After we do all of the projects we have slated for this fiscal year, we’ll still have $27 million in the HFS Reserve,” David Snyder, the associate vice president for auxiliary and business services, told a trustees committee Thursday. The trustees’ Committee on Finance & Investment unanimously recommended the move for approval Thursday morning. The full board then unanimously voted in favor of the project Friday afternoon. No trustees on Friday brought up the cost. The university has
