Multiple Democratic officials and lawmakers said that access to state Medicaid website portals went down, which the White House confirmed later Tuesday.

“The White House is aware of the Medicaid website portal outage. We have confirmed no payments have been affected—they are still being processed and sent. We expect the portal will be back online shortly,” said a statement from White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt to The Epoch Times on Tuesday, responding to questions about the Medicaid portals going down.
