As contractors position themselves to cash in on a gush of new business managing work requirements, a cadre of senators has launched an inquiry into the companies paid billions to build eligibility systems.

The state discovered a glitch in its Medicaid eligibility system. The problem, alleged in court testimony, led to new mothers wrongly losing their insurance coverage.

As Florida and other states wait for Deloitte to make fixes in computer systems, Medicaid beneficiaries risk losing access to health care and food.

The technology has generated notices with errors, sent Medicaid paperwork to the wrong addresses, and been frozen for hours at a time, according to state audits, court documents, and interviews.
