Federal Law Cuts Medicaid for Some Noncitizens Oct. 1

Luedtke Aug 5, 2026
A new federal law, H.R. 1, will change Medicaid eligibility for certain noncitizen adults effective October 1, 2026. The law does not affect children or pregnant people. Impacted individuals should have received a letter from Maryland Health Connection in mid-July, with official notices on coverage end dates expected from Maryland Health Connection and the Maryland Department of Health in August and September.
