Should I do this on my own, or call MinnAssist?

You're not alone. In 2026, 184,963 Minnesotans lost Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare at renewal, and 86% of them lost it over paperwork, not because they stopped qualifying (Minnesota DHS renewal data). Don't be one of them. A MinnAssist navigator does the forms with you by phone, in your language, 9 am to 9 pm, 7 days, and follows up until it's done. Free. Call (866) 655-6606.

My pay is different every month. What do I put?

Call us. We help you work out the right number for the program you're applying to.

Does it cost anything?

No. Our help is always free, for you and everyone in your family.

INCOME CHANGES EVERY MONTH

Gig work, cash or tips? Income that changes every month? We help you report it right.

If you drive, deliver, clean, do hair, work for tips or get paid in cash, your income can change every month. That makes health coverage forms confusing. MinnAssist helps you figure out what to report and apply for the right program. Call MinnAssist at (866) 655-6606.
