Community stakeholders warned that many Texans could get lost in the shuffle of the renewal process. Old addresses and out-of-date contact information mean some people may not receive their renewal packet in time.

Many women who received Medicaid for Pregnant Women and children who have turned 19 since the start of the pandemic are now ineligible.
