Final Rules for Medicaid Work Requirements Are Out. Here’s What You Need to Know.
- The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released a rule on June 1 implementing Medicaid work requirements from the previous year's budget reconciliation law, effective January 1, with a public comment period ending July 31.
- Most states plan to check compliance with Medicaid work requirements every six months for only one month, allowing beneficiaries to meet the 80-hour monthly requirement by working in just two months annually.
- The rule defines work to include unpaid or barter work and excludes individuals with substance use disorders from work requirements for at least five years.
- Starting January 2028, Medicaid beneficiaries can self-certify medical frailty once and must provide documentation during annual reviews, though some have objected to the CMS definitions and limits on self-attestation.
