Republican Gov. Rick Snyder of Michigan has signed a bill into law that would require certain Medicaid beneficiaries to work or train for work as a condition for staying enrolled in the program.
The bill requires recipients to clock in at least 80 hours a month at a job, training or volunteer work, or otherwise be dropped from coverage. The measure still isn’t final but must go through public comment periods and be approved by federal officials at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
