Federal agencies said that Texas is currently not meeting federal requirements to process applications for Medicaid health insurance and food benefits leading to delays and backlogs. The agencies warned that, if the issue persists, they would withhold federal funding.
The warning comes after the Lone Star State kicked more than a million people off Medicaid in the last year, many of whom may still be eligible for coverage, due to procedural reasons, according to a report by Axios.
