Medicaid Work Requirements

Home / Medicaid Work Requirements

Know the changes. Know your options. Keep your benefits. Medicaid rules are changing in 2027. Select your state to understand what may apply and where to get help.

Choose your state

Select your state to learn who may be affected, when the requirements begin, possible exemptions, steps you can take now and where to find official information.

The new requirements do not apply to everyone. Your state Medicaid agency—not Centerstone—decides whether the requirements apply to you or whether you qualify for an exemption.
