The Impending Medicaid Coverage Cliff: What You Need to Know.

Starting April 1, states will begin removing people from Medicaid, with an estimated 15 million people, or roughly 1 in 6 of the 84 million on Medicaid, expected to be kicked off the program. The Consolidated Appropriations Act instructed states to restart eligibility checks of every person currently on Medicaid, and individuals will have to fill out forms to verify their personal information to stay on the rolls. People in danger of losing Medicaid coverage may have relocated or received an income boost that makes them ineligible. Children enrolled in Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program are likely to still qualify for coverage even if their parents lose Medicaid.
