Federal Court Rules Against Idaho Department of Health and Welfare in Medicaid Classs Action
Ruling Mandates Important Protections for Due Process Rights of Idahoans with Developmental DisabilitiesBOISE, Idaho – Idaho’s Chief Federal Judge B. Lynn Winmill has ordered the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare to develop substantial additional safeguards to protect Idaho Medicaid participants. The decision comes as the latest ACLU of Idaho victory in the K.W. v. Armstrong class action. The lawsuit, over Idaho’s Medicaid programs for adults with developmental disabilities, contended that the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare cut Medicaid participants’ assistance without adequate notification or procedural protections. The federal court agreed this week, holding that the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare “arbitrarily deprives participants of their property rights and hence violates due process.”
