Mississippi Division of Medicaid wants permission from feds to enact a work requirement

Mississippi Medicaid looking at work requirement

JACKSON – The Mississippi Division of Medicaid wants permission from the federal government to impose a requirement that a small percentage of recipients work or are in work force training programs.

Medicaid officials have scheduled two public hearings later this month in Jackson to garner public input on the proposal. Collecting public input on the proposal is one of several steps in the process of requesting permission from the federal government to institute a work requirement.
