Biden says national covid-19 emergencies that began in 2020 will end in May, restructuring government’s response to the pandemic
The declaration came as Biden opposed House Republicans’ efforts to end the emergency declarations immediately, a move the White House argued would cause chaos and confuse efforts for an orderly winding down of the emergency status.
In 2020, the Trump administration declared both a national emergency and a public health emergency, which are set to expire on March 1 and April 11, respectively. In a notice to Congress on Monday, the White House said it wants to briefly extend both emergency declarations before terminating them May 11.
“An abrupt end to the emergency declarations would create wide-ranging chaos and uncertainty throughout the health care system — for states, for hospitals and doctors’ offices, and, most importantly, for tens of millions of Americans,” the White House said in a statement Monday. Among the most notable effects of ending the state of emergency would be the termination of Title 42, a public health measure that has limited the inflow of migrants at the border. The Biden administration has attempted to end Title 42, but that action has been held up in court.
In addition, the emergency declaration allowed the Medicaid program to provide additional funding so tens of millions of beneficiaries could retain their Medicaid payments during the pandemic. Congress has enacted a wind-down of that effort, and the White House argued that ending it abruptly would cause chaos and difficulty for the recipients.
