Senate Budget Committee Holds Hearing on Medicaid Work Requirements
Health experts testify on Medicaid work requirements months after new federal rule issuance.
On Tuesday morning, the Senate Budget Committee convened a hearing to discuss Medicaid and the implementation of work requirements for eligibility. This session follows the Trump administration's recent rule mandating that states enforce work-related criteria for Medicaid recipients.
The rule impacts 42 states and the District of Columbia, which are guided by the federal update to apply these work rules. Health experts provided testimony addressing the implications and execution of these requirements.
