SCAM ALERT:

We’ve been made aware of a texting scam targeting Medicaid recipients. The scam pretends to be from your Medicaid Health Plan and falsely claims that your Medicaid benefits have been terminated. It then includes a link to "reapply" — DO NOT CLICK IT.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Medicaid will NEVER ask you to reapply through a text link.

• If you're unsure about your benefits, contact our Lincoln County DSS office directly.

• Do not share personal information through suspicious texts, emails, or links.

Protect yourself and your family — share this message with others in our community.
