Lawsuit Aims Block of Indiana’s Medicaid Work Requirements
Wednesday, September 25, 2019

Four Indiana residents have filed a lawsuit against the federal government over the Hoosier State’s plan to implement work requirements for low-income residents who receive their health insurance through government entity, Medicaid.

The lawsuit was filed Monday in federal court comes after rulings have blocked similar work requirements in states like Arkansas, Kentucky and New Hampshire.

The version Indiana officials want would require those not qualifying for exemptions to report 20 hours a month of work, or work related activity. Failure to do so would result in a coverage loss after December 31st.

The lawsuit that was filed by Indiana Legal Services and the National Health Law Program state that they feel the rules wrongly jeopardize health coverage for thousands of people within the state.
