New Medicaid Rules: Work or Community Engagement Requirement

This bill allows states to implement work or community engagement requirements for individuals receiving medical assistance through Medicaid. The aim is to reduce dependence on this assistance. However, certain groups, such as the elderly, children, pregnant women, or sick individuals, are exempt from these requirements.
Key points
States can require Medicaid beneficiaries to participate in work or community engagement activities.
Exemptions apply to individuals aged 65 or older, 19 or younger, pregnant women, those with temporary illnesses, individuals in substance use disorder treatment, and recipients of other aid programs.
The changes aim to promote self-sufficiency and reduce reliance on medical assistance.
