Appeals court upholds ruling that Florida’s Medicaid termination notices were unconstitutional

A federal appeals court has upheld a ruling finding that Florida’s Medicaid termination notices violated the due process rights of hundreds of thousands of Floridians. The court found that the notices failed to clearly explain why coverage was being terminated, including the household size, income, and eligibility information used to make the decision. The ruling keeps in place requirements that Florida provide clear, accurate information and appeal rights before terminating Medicaid coverage based on income. The decision is a significant victory for Florida Medicaid recipients and the families represented by Florida Health Justice Project and the National Health Law Program.
