Final rules for Medicaid work requirements are out

Article excerpt

The Trump administration released final rules requiring millions of Medicaid enrollees to prove they're working or participating in activities like job training, volunteering, or education programs. States must now enforce these work requirements, which represent a significant shift in how the federal government manages the massive health insurance program. The rules specify which activities qualify and how states should document compliance, affecting coverage for a substantial portion of America's low-income population.
