Attention Medicaid Recipients

Hawkins v. Cohen (5:17-CV-581 E.D.N.C.) is a federal lawsuit filed in 2017 on behalf of
Medicaid beneficiaries in North Carolina. The Court has ordered N.C. DHHS and all 100
county DSSs to stop terminations or reductions of Medicaid benefits until eligibility
under all Medicaid categories has been considered and proper notice of the termination
has been sent.
