March 16, 2020: Coronavirus Briefing At The White House

In April, the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration implemented a waitlist for services under an important Medicaid waiver in response to last year’s Medicaid shortfall. New waiver slots will open on July 1 — but there’s still some uncertainty around whether there will be enough slots to accommodate those on the waitlist.

The trial in the latest legal challenge to Indianas near-total abortion ban wrapped up Friday with closing arguments from both sides. The judge will now weigh questions about specific elements of the law.

There’s just over a month left before several significant changes to the state’s Medicaid program go into effect, including changes to the Aged and Disabled waiver and the implementation of the Pathways for Aging program.
