UCare to Lay Off 102 Employees at Minneapolis Facility as Wind-Down Continues
NewsData.io · United States · Aug 5, 2026
UCare, a Minneapolis-based nonprofit health insurer covering Medicaid and Medicare enrollees, has filed a federal WARN notice for approximately 102 permanent layoffs beginning October 2, 2026. The cuts stem from UCare's court-ordered rehabilitation and wind-down, with Medica acquiring certain UCare contracts and assets effective October 1. Affected roles include care coordinators, care managers, customer service representatives, and utilization review staff — a pool of specialized healthcare workers that will enter the regional labor market over the coming months.
