A federal judge has ruled that Florida illegally terminated Medicaid coverage for hundreds of thousands of residents — many of them children, pregnant women, and low-income families.
FHJP, in partnership with NHeLP, filed this class action lawsuit to hold the state accountable. According to a recent Sun Sentinel editorial, the state sent termination notices that were “vague, confusing, and often incorrect,” leaving at least 500,000 people without clear information or meaningful opportunity to appeal. The court ordered the state to correct the notices and restore coverage where proper notice was not given.
This case underscores how administrative failures can have serious, real-world consequences for Florida’s most vulnerable communities — and why transparency and due process matter.
