Several states are implementing work requirements for Medicaid recipients. Arkansas has requested federal approval to condition Medicaid expansion on work compliance, shifting non-compliant individuals to fee-for-service coverage. Georgia has added work requirements, leaving many low-income adults without Medicaid access. An estimated 175,000 adults fall into a coverage gap due to the state's income limits. North Carolina and Ohio have also introduced work requirements alongside Medicaid expansion. South Dakota plans to seek federal approval for work requirements after voters supported the measure in a recent ballot initiative.
