Bill overview
This bill, the Jobs and Opportunities for Medicaid Act, would establish work requirements for able-bodied adults enrolled in Medicaid. Starting in 2026, individuals aged 18-65 who don’t meet specific exemptions would need to work at least 20 hours per week or volunteer the same amount to maintain their Medicaid coverage. The bill defines ‘able-bodied adult’ and outlines several exemptions from the work requirement, such as those with medical conditions, primary caregivers, or participating in substance abuse treatment programs. It aims to encourage workforce participation among Medicaid recipients.
