Milken initiative leads amicus brief challenging Medicaid work requirement rule - The GW Hatchet

Summary

A coalition of public health organizations led by the Milken Institute filed a federal court brief challenging a CMS rule that requires Medicaid recipients with serious medical conditions to prove significant work impairment to qualify for exemptions from new federal work requirements taking effect in 2027. The plaintiffs argue the rule creates barriers that could cause people with disabilities and serious health conditions to lose coverage by imposing documentation restrictions not authorized by Congress.
