AN ACT REQUIRING ABLE-BODIED MEDICAID RECIPIENTS TO WORK OR VOLUNTEER.

HB 6104 would require the state to seek a federal waiver under the Social Security Act to mandate that able-bodied Medicaid recipients work or volunteer to maintain their benefits. This bill directly affects Medicaid recipients aged 18-64 who are considered able-bodied under federal guidelines. The key mechanism is the state seeking a waiver to implement this work requirement, rather than changing state law directly. The bill does not specify work hour requirements or exemptions but aims to align state Medicaid policy with a potential federal waiver. This is a procedural bill focused on seeking federal permission to impose a new requirement.
