During the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government implemented a rule that prevented states from removing people from Medicaid. But following the end of the public health emergency at the end of March 2023, states began the eligibility redetermination process.

Jennifer Wagner, Director of Medicaid Eligibility and Enrollment at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, joins the podcast to talk more about what we’ve seen over the last year and what it could mean for future Medicaid policies.
