Eight to 24 Million Could Lose Medicaid Coverage by May 2024 Due to the End of Pandemic-era Enrollment Protections
State Policies Will Help Shape How Many People Are Disenrolled, Including Some Who Remain Eligible
A new KFF analysis finds that between 8 and 24 million people across the United States could be disenrolled from Medicaid during the unwinding of the program’s continuous enrollment provision.
The new findings are consistent with HHS estimates that as many as 15 million people will be disenrolled during the unwinding process, including 6.8 million who will likely still be eligible. (KFF’s analysis does not estimate how much of the Medicaid coverage loss would be among people who are still eligible versus those who are no longer eligible.)
