Healthcare Benefits for Refugees and Immigrants:

Impacts of H.R.1

Beginning October 1, 2026, federal laws changes will significantly modify which non-citizens qualify for Apple Health/Medicaid. As a result, many refugees, asylees, and other non-citizen populations may lose eligibility for Apple Health/Medicaid coverage.  This workshop will explain what health insurance options are available for refugees, asylees and other non-citizens. 

Presenters:

• Christena Coutsoubos, Policy & Legislative Manager, Behavioral Health & Recovery Division  King County Department of Community and Human Services 

• Daphne Pie, Regional  Health Services Administrator, King County
