HR 1 Medicaid work requirements and eligibility reviews
Summary
Starting next July, federal HR 1 changes mean Medicaid expansion recipients face eligibility reviews twice a year instead of once, and roughly 11,000 of the 80,000 people served are projected to be at risk under new work requirements. Social Services is ramping up outreach, employment services, and partnerships to keep people covered.
