I recently had my kids insurance (AR Kids) closed because the DHS said I "failed to return an eligibility report form to the county office."
I never received this form. When I went to reapply for AR kids there were three other people in the (Johnson) County DHS office who also never received this form.
The office is not admitting that the forms were never sent or that the error is on their part.
I am looking to see how many other families had their insurance cancelled due to a form never being sent.
I plan to send this to officials in Little Rock as well as our governor so they can see the error.

I have finished drafting the formal report detailing these systemic failures to present to the state office. My next step involves coordinating with a journalist who is investigating these missing notices at the county level.

The volume of reports coming in confirms that this issue is widespread and systemic rather than an isolated error. I am compiling these accounts into a formal briefing document to present to the state oversight committee during our meeting next week.

We never received any forms. Letter said it would close on 2-28-17 but had closed on 2-13-17. I spent 2 hours and 45 minutes as 15th in line, just to find out it had been cancelled
The way inbound out my son case has been closed was when his dentist called 2 days before his appointment saying his ARkids was declined, and I'd have to pay $150 for his cleaning. I was shocked cause I never got anything in the mail about anything. As a mother who relies on ARkids for my son's medical needs this was very upsetting.
this happened to me as well and my daughter has dental surgery next month im trying to get her re-approved before her surgery
The same thing happened with my two children. I never received a form, yet received the TWO letters telling me their ArKids is being cancelled because I didn't return the form.
I'm signing this because I was one of them that never received a form to fill out and I got a letter in the mail saying my kids Arkids case was closed!
Did not receive any forms!
I also never got anything till I got a letter saying that my kids arkids was closed due to not sending back paperwork! I'm furious!

Same for us! I got the renewal for my medicade which was changed to blue cross blue shield but never a renewal for the kids. My renewal for my medicade had the same info they would need for renewing at kids so I just assumed it was handled but then found out later by letter that my kids had been dropped with no warning
