State Implementation Timeline for H.R. 1 Medicaid Work Requirements and Eligibility Changes

States are implementing eligibility changes mandated by H.R. 1, including work requirements for Medicaid beneficiaries, immigration-related funding restrictions, elimination of retroactive coverage, and transition to six-month renewals for certain populations. The resource provides key implementation dates as states operationalize these federal policy changes. Managed care organizations should prepare for enrollment volatility, increased disenrollment, and potential changes to capitation rates as states comply with these new requirements. MCOs will need to coordinate with states on member outreach, data reporting for work requirement verification, and network adequacy planning for smaller enrolled populations.
