After Medicaid Ruling, Mississippi Tweaks Its Work Requirements Waiver

In an attempt to avoid pushback states have received on Medicaid work requirements, Mississippi reinstated beneficiary protections into its waiver proposal.

A Medicaid waiver is a state request to the federal government to deviate from various program requirements.

Mississippi is one of several states that has asked the Trump administration for permission to impose work requirements on low-income, able-bodied caretakers otherwise eligible for Medicaid.
