Will Georgia evictions rise when moratorium ends?
By Sudhin Thanawala
ATLANTA - A federal freeze on most evictions enacted last year is scheduled to expire Saturday, after President Joe Biden’s administration extended the original date by a month. The moratorium, put in place by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in September, was the only tool keeping millions of tenants in their homes. Many of them lost jobs during the coronavirus pandemic and had fallen months behind on their rent.
Landlords successfully challenged the order in court, arguing they also had bills to pay. They pointed out that tenants could access nearly $47 billion in federal money set aside to help pay rents and related expenses.

ATLANTA â Compared with other states, Georgia has a stunningly low rate of referring poor children to specialty services under Medicaid, according to a recently released report.
The health screenings of Medicaid kids and the subsequent âcorrective treatmentsââ are required under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) program.
The goal of EPSDT is to provide early detection and treatment of health conditions so that children and adolescents covered by Medicaid can get appropriate preventive, dental, mental health, developmental and other specialty services.
The report from the National Health Law Program compares states on the number of health screenings and referrals to specialized care.
