At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government passed legislation to help families and health care providers amid an unprecedented health and economic crisis. Among the provisions, states were required to keep people who receive health insurance via Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) continuously enrolled in the programs in exchange for enhanced federal funding. This provision has helped cover more than 650,000 West Virginians throughout the pandemic.
In December 2022, Congress passed legislation phasing down the emergency enrollment provisions. Starting on April 1, Medicaid will return to pre-pandemic eligibility requirements and the state will start rolling folks off Medicaid if deemed ineligible.
