Florida Medicaid recipients risk losing coverage in 2026 due to missed renewal deadlines, FLMMIS processing errors, or unmanaged plan changes. Even if eligibility hasn’t changed, one overlooked notice can trigger months without benefits. Stay covered by checking your ACCESS Florida account, responding promptly to DCF requests, confirming your managed care plan, and following a clear checklist to prevent gaps in care and protect your Medicaid benefits.

Florida Medicaid isn’t ending in 2026, but thousands of eligible recipients are still losing coverage. Missed renewal letters, outdated contact information, and unmanaged plan changes are the main reasons benefits are cut. One overlooked notice can trigger termination for months, even if income hasn’t changed. Staying covered now requires active monitoring, fast responses, and regular checks of the ACCESS Florida portal.

The new food pyramid is a revised nutritional model that replaces the original pyramid created in the 1990s. Instead of rigid serving counts and over-emphasis on grains, the updated pyramid prioritizes whole foods, quality of nutrients, and lifestyle factors such as physical activity.
