Medicaid work requirement: What would it mean for WV?

In 2018, West Virginia considered putting a Medicaid work requirement but decided that this policy would not make good sense for our state.  So far, in 2019 no proposals to create a work requirement are moving.  However, rumors are that a proposal may emerge.  So now is a good time to look through our past blogs on this issue as well as learn more from the recent Rural Health Association webinar on what a Medicaid work requirement might mean for West Virginia.

 Here's an audio recording of the webinar.

And here are some helpful resources from the webinar:

• The report: Making Medicaid Work In The Mountain State.
• WV Research: Simon Haeder's slides from the webinar.
• Concerns from WV: Kat Stoll's slides from the webinar.
