  1. 01

    How would an 80-hour monthly work requirement affect people with disabilities, caregiving responsibilities, or unstable housing who currently receive Medicaid?

  2. 02

    What evidence exists that work requirements reduce long-term dependency versus simply removing coverage from those unable to meet the threshold?

  3. 03

    Which groups—such as seasonal workers, people in rural areas with limited jobs, or those with medical barriers—might struggle most to comply with this requirement?
