Minnesota Family Planning Program

4.1.4.2 Renewals

The eligibility period for the Minnesota Family Planning Program (MFPP) is 12 months. If the applicant is not receiving presumptive eligibility, this period begins on the first day of the month of application. If the applicant is receiving presumptive eligibility, the eligibility period begins on the first day of the month in which ongoing eligibility is established. Eligibility continues through the last day of the twelfth month.

Enrollees must submit the Minnesota Family Planning Program (MFPP) Application and Renewal Form (DHS-4740) and complete the renewal process before the end of the eligibility period. If the renewal form or other information needed to renew is not returned before the eligibility period ends, MFPP eligibility is closed.

Reconsideration Period

The reconsideration period is the four-month period after an enrollee’s MFPP eligibility terminated for failure to complete a renewal.

A renewal is within the reconsideration period when either of the following is true:

the renewal form is received before by the last day of the fourth month following closure for failure to renew, or
any additional information or verifications proof that was were required for an incomplete renewal is received before by the last day of the fourth month following closure for failure to renew.

Renewals that are not within the reconsideration period are treated as a new application and to which all application policies apply. See 4.1.1.1 MFPP Application for more information.
