Georgetown Center for Children and Families Submits Comments on Medicaid Work Requirements Interim Final Rule
The Georgetown University Center for Children and Families submitted comments to CMS regarding the interim final rule implementing Medicaid work reporting requirements mandated by H.R. 1. The rule establishes federal requirements for states to implement work reporting for certain Medicaid beneficiaries. The comments address implementation concerns and potential impacts on beneficiary enrollment and coverage continuity. The rule affects state Medicaid agencies responsible for implementing work reporting systems and health plans managing enrollment and disenrollment processes.
Why it mattersWork reporting requirements create new administrative obligations for state agencies and MCOs, potentially triggering enrollment disruptions and increased disenrollment processing for non-compliant beneficiaries.
