Many Unaware Of Coming Work Rule

A Health Management Academy survey finds that about 55% of Medicaid enrollees say they are unaware of upcoming work requirements. Work requirements go into effect on January 1 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Many enrollees don’t know they’ll need to report work, education or volunteer hours starting in less than six months in order to stay covered. Another 27% said they knew something about work requirements but were unsure of the details.

While the vast majority of Medicaid enrollees who can work are employed, many will lose eligibility due to lack of knowledge of requirements, paperwork burden, and administrative snafus by states.
