A pandemic-era rule that protected people from losing their Medicaid coverage will expire on Friday, putting millions of peoples’ health insurance coverage at risk.
, for example, a single individual whose income falls under $19,392 annually before taxes or a married couple whose income is below $26,228 annually, can qualify for the program. Going even slightly above that cutoff could make a person ineligible for coverage.The unwinding period is expected to last about 12 months, as states check everyone’s eligibility and send renewal and termination notices, although some states will do these checks faster than others, Tolbert said.
During this 12-month period, 5 million to 15 people are expected to lose Medicaid coverage, Tolbert said. The unenrollments will begin trickling in in April. Along with the new end date, states are required to attempt to contact enrollees prior to terminating their coverage.
