Trump administration appeals rulings that blocked Medicaid work requirements

By Amy Goldstein Amy Goldstein Reporter covering health-care policy and other social policy issues Email Bio Follow April 10 at 4:24 PM The Trump administration appealed court rulings Wednesday by a federal judge that blocked federally approved programs in two states to compel some able-bodied people to work to qualify for Medicaid.

For Kentucky’s program, which was to have started April 1, the opinion was the second time U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg had ruled against the “community engagement” rules and sent the state’s plan back to the Department of Health and Human Services to reevaluate.After the initial ruling, HHS did another review, as the court directed, and reapproved, with no changes, the plan it had previously given Kentucky permission to begin.

In January 2018, Verma announced that the administration was receptive to states that wanted to require able-bodied people on Medicaid to work, prepare for work, or do volunteer work for a specified number of hours per month. This idea had floated around a few conservative states years earlier — and was consistently rejected by the Obama administration.

Last June, Arkansas Works, that state’s plan for the part of Medicaid it expanded under the Affordable Care Act, became the first to take effect.The first recipients were cut off in September for failing for three months to comply with the rules or to submit proof to the state that they were meeting the requirements. By December, about 18,000 people on Arkansas Works had lost coverage.
