An estimated 1 in 4 Medicaid beneficiaries have enrolled since February 2020, according to Kaiser Family Foundation.
In an analysis published March 2, the foundation broke down the estimated number of new enrollees by state. Five states — California, New York, Texas, Florida and Illinois — accounted for one-third of the beneficiaries who have enrolled in the program since February 2020.
States can begin removing beneficiaries who are no longer eligible for Medicaid from their rolls beginning April 1.
