2. MAKE COPIES:
Make copies of all the documents that are required for the Medicaid renewal. Make copies of your check stubs for the last 60 days for all incomes that you've listed on the renewal notice. Also make copies of expenses that you have listed (if any) on the renewal notice. Expenses would include child support and alimony.

Go over the information that you will turn in to make sure there are no errors. Make sure you filled out the form completely for all children.
