Head to our Employee Resource Center for resources like your HR forms, access your W-2, information about your benefits, and more. There’s also a helpful FAQ section with answers and tools you may be looking for.

2023 Medicaid Renewal Process
For the last three years, Medicaid did not reassess those receiving Medicaid benefits, and they were automatically renewed. On April 1, 2023, Medicaid began reassessing all beneficiaries and adjusting renewals accordingly.
Medicaid status
If you are enrolled in Medicaid, maintaining your eligibility can depend on several factors, including changes in income, household size, age, and disability status. State Medicaid agencies started processing eligibility redeterminations on February 1, 2023, and began terminating coverage for people who no longer qualify on April 1, 2023. If you are enrolled in Medicaid, the exact date of your renewal will depend on your state. Your state Medicaid agency should contact you with instructions on any action steps you may need to complete.
Coverage options
If you no longer qualify for Medicaid and your enrollment is being terminated, there are ways to stay covered. Losing Medicaid coverage is a Qualifying Life Event (QLE) because it may impact your health insurance. Experiencing a qualifying life event means you can immediately enroll in a new health plan as part of a special enrollment period.
Most people have three options:
- A health plan through work
- A health plan offered through the Health Insurance Marketplace at healthcare.gov
- Medicare, if you are 65 or older
If you need to sign up for another health plan, the special enrollment period is typically 30 or 60 days.
Special enrollment
If you miss your special enrollment period, you must wait until the next annual open enrollment period to sign up for coverage. These typically start on November 1, for start dates of January 1. Once enrolled in a new health plan due to a special enrollment period, your coverage usually begins on the first day of the month following eligibility.

Health Insurance and Life Events
Typically, you can only sign up for health insurance during open enrollment periods on an annual basis. However, a change in your situation — like getting married, having a baby, or losing health coverage — can make you eligible for a special enrollment period. During a special enrollment period, you are allowed to enroll in health insurance outside the yearly open enrollment time. These are known as Qualifying Life Events (QLEs). If you need to request a life event, you can do this from PrestigePRO. Click below for instructions.

COMPLIANCE
Stay Informed with Compliance Posters
To ensure that you have access to federal and state compliance posters, whether you work on-site or remotely, PrestigePEO has made these posters available online. Compliance posters, or labor law postings, are traditionally posted in a public forum inside your office, often in a break area all employees can access. These posters include information such as the whistleblower protection law, minimum wage notices, and other items like FMLA and FLSA.
These are reviewed, updated, and available for all employees, regardless of whether they are telecommuting or in the office, at any time via the PrestigePRO employee portal.
You can access these posters by following the instructions below:
- Log into the PrestigePRO employee portal.
- Scroll down on the left-hand sidebar and click “Federal/State Posting Notices.”
- This will bring you to a new page titled “Employee Poster Viewing Center.”
- Click on the dropdown box beneath this heading and select the state where you physically work.
- Once you select your state, you’ll see the following options:
- State
- Federal
- Click through your options to review each notice and download the files to keep them as references.
For questions about these notices or any general inquiries, please get in touch with your HR Business Partner.
