Beginning January 1, 2027, all states will be required to implement work and community engagement requirements as a condition of Medicaid eligibility for low-income working-age adults whose coverage is tied to the Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansion.
These requirements are of special concern for community health center patients, who are disproportionately likely to lose coverage and access, and have enormous financial and operational consequences for health center organizations. While most states have awaited federal guidance, Nebraska implemented work requirements on May 1, 2026.
This session will focus on the implementation of the work requirements, addressing the status of planning and implementation including early experience in Nebraska, with experts on Medicaid policy and health center movement leaders.
