Watch: What are Medicaid work requirements?

What Are Medicaid Work Requirements?

President Donald Trump signed legislation that mandates some Medicaid recipients prove they're working, volunteering, or completing other qualifying activities at least 80 hours a month to maintain coverage. This applies to 40 states (plus Washington, D.C.) that have expanded Medicaid to a broader pool of low-income adults. Those states will share $200 million to prepare eligibility systems by the end of next year.
