Medicaid Work Requirement Option for Non-Disabled, Non-Elderly Adults.
This bill allows states to require certain non-disabled, non-elderly, non-pregnant adults to meet a work requirement to maintain their Medicaid health coverage. Citizens who fail to comply with these new state-mandated work activities risk losing access to their medical assistance. Key groups, such as pregnant women and primary caregivers of young children, are exempt from this rule.
Key points
States gain the option to condition Medicaid eligibility for healthy adults on participation in work activities defined by the State.
Exemptions include pregnant women, individuals under 19, and primary parents/caretakers of children under age 6 or children with disabilities.
Failure to meet the State's work requirement could result in the termination of Medicaid health benefits.
