Nebraska to Disenroll 200 Medicaid Beneficiaries Under Work Requirements on August 1
Nebraska will disenroll approximately 200 Medicaid beneficiaries on August 1, 2026, for failing to meet work requirements, according to the state's Medicaid director in an interview with Tradeoffs. This marks the first wave of coverage losses under the Trump administration's work requirement policies. The disenrollments will affect beneficiaries who did not comply with work, volunteer, or job training mandates. This initial action signals the beginning of broader coverage reductions as Nebraska enforces work requirements approved under federal waiver authority.
This is the first documented instance of coverage loss under the current administration's work requirement policy, establishing a precedent for how states will operationalize disenrollment processes and what scale of coverage loss to expect.
