The COVID-19 pandemic (also known as the novel coronavirus or SARS-CoV-2 pandemic) is constantly evolving. Thankfully, there are reliable resources to help you find the information you need, now.
End of the Public Emergency Declaration
The federal Public Health Emergency (PHE) and Major Disaster Declaration (MDD) for COVID-19 will end on May 11, 2023, and federally funded programs are returning to normal operations. This will end the temporary, but significant, changes made to Medicaid enrollment and eligibility rules, as well as additional pandemic-specific flexibilities extended to State Units on Aging for programs funded through the Older Americans Act. The Administration on Community Living has more information on the “Unwinding” of Policy Changes due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
