58,000 HIP members are not in compliance with pending work requirements

INDIANAPOLIS - The Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) estimates that over 58,000 Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) members may not currently comply with, or be exempt from, the HIP Work Requirements that will begin January 1, 2027.

This figure reflects the most recent data available and underscores the urgent need for members to review their status to avoid losing coverage. Review the new HIP requirements here.

Beginning January 1, 2027, FSSA will enforce work requirements for new applicants and existing HIP members. These requirements reflect a balanced, values-driven approach that pairs compassion with responsibility and ensures access to healthcare is supported by work, job training, education, or qualifying community engagement activities.

To ensure members know what they need to do to keep their coverage, FSSA began a statewide, multi-channel communications effort in June 2026. This outreach included notifications to more than 500,000 HIP members, partner communications, social media messaging, listserv alerts, and in-person town halls across Indiana. These efforts were designed to help every HIP member clearly understand the steps needed to remain compliant.

FSSA Secretary Mitch Roob says, “We encourage HIP members to take personal responsibility for their coverage. Find the HIP Work Requirements at myfssa.in.gov, set up a Benefit Portal account if you don’t already have one, and use the pre-screening tool to determine if HIP Work Requirements apply to you. Our goal is for every eligible HIP member to keep their coverage.”
