Trump administration issues rules for Medicaid work requirements
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released a rule that sets out the standards states must follow to enforce new Medicaid work requirements.
The rule details who qualifies for exemptions, how states must verify those exemptions, and the reporting obligations they will face.
The requirements were added to President Trump’s 2025 tax cut legislation and have strong support among Republican lawmakers, while Democrats and health‑care advocates argue they could harm seriously ill beneficiaries.
States are moving quickly to put the requirements in place before the start of the next year.
