During the federal COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE), many changes were made to the Medicaid program's eligibility, administration, and policies to ease rules for providers and prevent Medicaid beneficiaries from losing their healthcare coverage. Now that the pandemic has eased up, the emergency order allowing for these changes is coming to an end. This means, that in 2023 many are at risk of losing their Medicaid coverage.
During the federal COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE), many changes were made to the Medicaid program's eligibility, administration, and policies to ease rules for providers and prevent Medicaid beneficiaries from losing their healthcare coverage. It is anticipated that the US Department of Health and Human Services will soon announce the end of the current federal PHE. Michigan will restart Medicaid eligibility renewals and certain waived policies that were in place during the pandemic when the federal PHE ends.
The Michigan Department of Health & Human Services is accepting public comments on its request to renew the Healthy Michigan Plan Section 1115 Demonstration, which affects the
Medicaid expansion population. Medicaid expansion has had a positive and impactful effect on low-income Michiganders having insurance coverage.
However, MDHHS is asking for continued approval to impose harmful requirements on the expansion population, including premiums, cost-sharing, and healthy behavior requirements.
Failure to pay premiums or complete an annual Health Risk Assessment or healthy behavior would result in loss of coverage for beneficiaries with incomes between 100% and 133% of the
federal poverty level and 48+ cumulative months of enrollment in HMP.

The Office of Global Michigan has joined Governor Whitmer and President Biden, who have recognized April as Arab American Heritage month this year. As Gov. Whitmer said in her Proclamation, "Arab Americans have been an integral part of the State of Michigan since their migration to the United States around 1880."
Today, Michigan is home to the largest concentration of individuals from the Middle East, with the population predominantly located in Southeast Michigan. President Biden said in his letter recognizing National Arab American Heritage Month, "For centuries, Arab Americans have embraced working hard, giving back, and cultivating friendship and community — helping shape our nation's history and build our future."
This April, we invite everyone to recognize the significant contributions to academia, business, medicine, law, technology, government, science and social justice Arab Americans make.
Experience the rich culture of Arab Americans by going to your local Arabic restaurant or visiting the Arab American National Museum. Protect your friends and neighbors by learning how the history of Arab Americans in the U.S. remains neglected or defaced by misconceptions, bigotry and anti-Arab racism in the forms of crimes and hate speech.
Check out the Arab American Foundation website and the Arab American National Museum Calendar for ongoing news and activities during April.
