    Nebraska becomes first state to impose Medicaid work requirements before OBBB deadline

    Nebraska became the first U.S. state to impose Medicaid work requirements eight months before the deadline set in the GOP’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The new rules, enacted Friday, apply to people who qualified for Medicaid under an expansion requiring able-bodied adults ages 19 to 64 to engage in work or other qualifying activities as a condition of receiving benefits under the government health insurance program. About 70,000 Nebraskans enrolled in Medicaid through the expansion, and the move could cut around 25,000 residents who qualified under the expansion, according to the Urban Institute, a nonpartisan research group. The expansion requires that enrollees work or perform community service for at least 80 hours a month, or be at least part-time students, with some exemptions. New Medicaid enrollees must now submit proof, and those already on the health insurance program will have until at least the end of July to do so. Nebraska Gov.

These requirements include working or other approved activities, such as school and volunteering.There are exemptions for certain groups, such as parents or guardians of children under age 14 and those with disabilities.Estimates from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) suggest approximately 5.2 million Americans nationwide could lose Medicaid coverage by 2034 due to these new work requirements. The CBO estimated the federal policy would increase the number of people uninsured by 4.8 million.A report from the nonpartisan policy research group Center for Budget and Policy Priorities found that 28,000 to 41,000 Nebraskans are at risk of losing coverage by 2034 following the implementation of work requirements. (this should be higher with the Nebraska mention) Will move up Health policy experts told ABC News that sharp Medicaid cuts could result in vulnerable Americans, in Nebraska and nationwide, no longer being able to receive care, either by losing coverage or by closing the centers that provide
