(MISSOURINET) – President Biden announced in January that the COVID-19 public health emergency will expire in May. Missouri has about 200-thousand job openings.

He says the state will soon begin checking whether Medicaid participants are still eligible for their benefits.
Parson says about 1.5 million Missourians are currently on Medicaid.
