Medical Groups and Enrollees Sue Over Federal Medicaid Work Requirements
Medicaid enrollees from five states and medical organizations filed suit Friday challenging work requirements established under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed by President Trump in summer 2026. The lawsuit targets new federal mandates requiring low-income adults in Medicaid expansion populations to meet work, school, or community service requirements. The legal challenge directly affects expansion enrollees in participating states and could determine whether millions of beneficiaries face coverage loss for non-compliance. The outcome will shape state implementation timelines and whether states must enforce work requirements pending judicial review.
This lawsuit could halt or delay implementation of federal work requirements affecting millions of expansion enrollees, creating uncertainty for state agencies on enforcement timelines and compliance obligations.
