Action Alert: Tell CMS You Oppose Medicaid Work Requirements
Last year, Congress directed the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to issue regulations for new work requirements for Medicaid as part of the budget bill H.R. 1, also known as the reconciliation bill.
On June 3, CMS released an Interim Final Rule for states to begin designing and building out their processes and systems to implement the work requirements on January 1, 2027.
This means that beginning January 1, 2027, individuals who receive Medicaid in most states will need to engage in 80 hours per month of paid work, education (at least 6 credit hours per semester), workforce training, volunteering, or a combination of those activities to maintain their Medicaid coverage.
Act today! Submit your comments on work requirements for Medicaid.
