A federal judge ruled that Florida violated federal law and constitutional due process by terminating Medicaid coverage using confusing, misleading, and inadequate notices. The court ordered the state to halt income-based Medicaid terminations unless beneficiaries receive clear, case-specific information explaining why coverage is ending and how to appeal. As a result, Florida must reissue proper notices to roughly 500,000 people who lost coverage after the pandemic and provide pathways to appeal, reinstate benefits, and recover unpaid medical costs. The decision affirms that clear communication is essential to protecting access to health care for Florida’s most vulnerable families.
