Lincoln County Department of Social Services has 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 your local DSS office directly.
- Do not share personal information through suspicious texts, emails, or links.
