CT Delegation Warns 100,000 Could Lose Medicaid to Work Rules
Connecticut's congressional delegation held events this week criticizing Medicaid eligibility changes taking effect January 1, including new work requirements. Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy appeared in Hartford on Monday, and Rep. Rosa DeLauro joined advocates in New Haven on Thursday. State officials estimate more than 100,000 Connecticut residents could lose coverage if they fail to comply with the new requirements. The events are part of a broader push by Connecticut Democrats to spotlight the coverage risks of the federal changes ahead of their effective date.
Why it mattersConnecticut's Medicaid agency and managed care plans face a January 1 deadline to implement work requirement verification systems or risk mass coverage disruption for over 100,000 enrollees.
