No Borders NewsA federal rule titled “Medicaid Program; Community Engagement Requirement for Certain Individuals” was published in the Federal Register. The proposal would require some Medicaid enrollees to meet a “community engagement” requirement, rather than relying only on income and other eligibility factors.
Because Medicaid is run by states, the practical impact will depend on how each state applies the federal rule. In general, these kinds of requirements can affect whether a person remains eligible or how eligibility is reviewed.
This is a rulemaking item from the Federal Register, so it may include a comment period and could change before it becomes final. For the most accurate details, review the official Federal Register document.
