Idaho to Implement Medicaid Expansion Work Requirements in 2027
Idaho will begin enforcing work requirements for Medicaid expansion enrollees in 2027, following state adoption of provisions from the federal One Big Beautiful Bill Act in April 2026. The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare will administer the requirements. State officials indicate most current expansion enrollees already meet the work requirement criteria, though specific exemption categories and compliance verification procedures have not been detailed.
Idaho becomes one of the first states to operationalize work requirements under the 2026 federal law, establishing a test case for state implementation approaches, exemption policies, and potential coverage loss among expansion populations.
