SUMMARY:Weathering the Storm: Keeping Immigrants and their Families Covered During the Medicaid Unwinding
DESCRIPTION:The 2020 Families First Coronavirus Response Act created a continuous coverage requirement\, ensuring that anybody enrolled in Medicaid would stay enrolled without going through the process of redeterminations. However\, on April 1\, 2023 the pandemic-era’s continuous coverage requirement will come to an end. States will have 12 months to initiate Medicaid redeterminations for more than 80 million people nationwide. \nAlthough this “unwinding” puts all people enrolled in Medicaid at risk of coverage loss\, immigrants and their family members face unique obstacles to remaining covered. These include language barriers\, privacy concerns\, and fear of immigration-based consequences. Advocates\, enrollment professionals\, and allies can help. \nJoin Protecting Immigrant Families (PIF) for this webinar to hear from national experts and state advocates about how to keep immigrants and their families covered and learn how to partner with PIF in these efforts. \nSession Details\nThursday\, February 23 | 12 – 1 p.m. \nVirtual \nRegister \nLearn More\nTo learn more\, visit the Protecting Immigrant Families website.
