Connecticut Estimates Thousands Face Medicaid Loss Under New Federal Work Requirements
Connecticut officials project thousands of Medicaid beneficiaries could lose coverage when new federal work requirements take effect January 1, 2027. Congress and President Trump enacted the changes in an omnibus federal budget bill in July 2025. The requirements apply to able-bodied adults without dependents and mandate work, community service, or qualifying activities to maintain eligibility. Connecticut is preparing implementation plans and beneficiary outreach as the effective date approaches.
Medicaid managed care plans in Connecticut must prepare for significant enrollment changes and disenrollment processes as work requirements take effect, impacting membership forecasts, provider network capacity planning, and care management continuity.
