The Biden administration has ordered 30 states to pause disenrollments from their Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) programs and reinstate coverage for nearly 500,000 people after a computer glitch kicked them off.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, terminations of Medicaid coverage were paused until March 31. But now, state Medicaid agencies have resumed the standard annual redeterminations that were a staple of pre-pandemic times.
