Not notifying people is the MassHealth way unfortunately.

They launched an outreach toolkit a couple days ago that indicates they will be doing significant outreach to communicate this information, including door to door outreach, noticing, posters, flyers, emails, etc: https://www.mass.gov/info-details/masshealth-eligibility-redetermination-outreach-toolkit

Keep in mind that MassHealth did not know that the end date for continuous COVID eligibility would be April 1st until a couple weeks ago. This is because that date is not their decision, it is a federal government decision, and the feds have not been clear at all with states on when this COVID eligibility period would end. It was completely up in the air until the feds made the announcement a couple weeks ago, so that's a big part of the reason why communications haven't gone out yet.

Well, that seems very counterproductive and unfortunate.
