📬 Keeping your address, phone number, and email current with your County Assistance Office is one of the most important things you can do right now to protect your coverage.

If DHS can't reach you, you could miss your renewal paperwork. Missing it can cause you to lose Medicaid, even if you're still eligible.

✅ Update your info online at COMPASS or in the myCOMPASS PA app
📞 Or call the DHS Customer Service Center: 1-877-395-8930 (in Philadelphia: 215-560-7226)
