Indiana Prepares Medicaid Beneficiaries for Work Requirements Starting January 2027

Indiana's Family and Social Services Administration is deploying outreach tools, including texts and town halls, to prepare Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) enrollees for new work requirements. The requirements take effect January 1, 2027, and will apply to both new applicants and current members eligible under HIP, the state's Medicaid expansion program. The state is providing advance notice and education to help beneficiaries understand compliance obligations before the policy goes live. This implementation affects Indiana's Medicaid expansion population and could influence enrollment and coverage continuity for working-age adults.
