You may be hearing questions about Medicaid data sharing and immigration enforcement. In late November, CMS announced a federal policy that could allow limited Medicaid and Marketplace data sharing with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Oregon is actively challenging that policy in court, and a judge has ordered CMS not to share this data while the case continues. That court order has now been extended through January 5, 2026, meaning CMS is not legally allowed to share Medicaid or Marketplace information with immigration enforcement during this time. The Oregon Health Authority has shared updated guidance and resources to help staff respond clearly and reassure people, and this guidance applies within ODHS as well. Oregon remains committed to protecting privacy and access to care, recognizing that health care is a basic human need, not a tool for enforcement. Thank you for continuing to support people with care, respect, and compassion during a stressful and uncertain time.
