New Work or Volunteer Requirement for Able-Bodied Medicaid Recipients.
This bill introduces a mandatory work or volunteer requirement for able-bodied adults receiving Medicaid benefits, effective January 1, 2024. To maintain coverage, these individuals must work or volunteer for at least 20 hours per week on a monthly average. The legislation specifically exempts several groups, including the elderly, minors, pregnant women, and primary caregivers of young or disabled children.
Key points
Able-bodied adults on Medicaid must work or volunteer a minimum of 20 hours weekly to keep their medical assistance.
Failure to meet the 20-hour weekly requirement could lead to the loss of Medicaid coverage starting in 2024.
Exemptions apply to individuals under 18 or over 65, those medically unfit for work, pregnant women, and primary caregivers of dependent children.
