If you lost Medicaid since March 18 (CARES Act), you may be able to file an appeal to get it back

We have been on transitional Medicaid for the last two years and since my income increased we're ineligible for third year ( and final) of transitional Medicaid in SC. I learned to ALWAYS appeal decisions because mistakes do happen and I have won numerous appeals. So when i appealed, I cited COVID as a major risk to out health and financial wellbeing. I got a letter yesterday confirmation that when the president enacts a national emergency, Medicaid benefits will continue until the emergency ends. So Medicaid approved our transitional Medicaid based on the March 18 CARES ACT for at least six months or longer if the emergency is still active.


It is worth appealing if you had Medicaid on or after March 18 and lost it.
