Chianne D. v. Florida Medicaid Officials — 11th Cir. (argued August 12, 2026)
The Eleventh Circuit reviews a permanent injunction requiring Florida to improve notices that terminate Medicaid for financial ineligibility. After a class-action trial, the district court found the notices confusing and too vague for recipients to tell why they had lost coverage. Florida says due process requires only the action, effective date, and general reason because recipients can get details through its call center and hearing process. It also says the district court decided notice-structure issues outside the certified class claims. The plaintiffs say the notices must identify the income, household size, eligibility category, and income limit Florida used, so recipients can decide whether to seek a hearing.
