IMPORTANT HR 1 UPDATE: We received an alert this past Friday that a federal court issued a decision that CMS could not require people in the categories Congress identified as "medically frail" to also prove that their condition significantly limits their ability to meet the work requirements. The "medically frail" categories include people who are blind or disabled, have a substance use disorder or disabling mental disorder, have certain physical, intellectual, or developmental disabilities, or have a serious or complex medical condition. While this ruling is great news, it is important to note that it does not end Medicaid’s new work requirements. If you receive Medicaid, please make sure that you keep all paperwork from your local DSS office and DHHS so that you can stay on top of changes to your Medicaid services.
