Summary:

  • Scope Medicaid work requirement gating to the ACA adult Medicaid category instead of all Medicaid categories.
  • Add currently modelable CMS/law exclusions and safe harbors: earned-income threshold, half-time student status, pregnant/postpartum medical assistance, former foster care under 26, Medicare eligibility, and incarceration.
  • Refresh parameter citations/descriptions and add targeted eligibility tests.

Audit notes:

  • H.R. 1 became Public Law 119-21 on July 4, 2025.
  • CMS published the Dec. 8, 2025 CMCS Informational Bulletin on Medicaid community engagement requirements.
  • I did not find a published Medicaid community engagement interim final rule as of May 11, 2026.

Tests:

  • uv run python policyengine_us/tests/test_batched.py policyengine_us/tests/policy/baseline/gov/hhs/medicaid/eligibility --batches 1
  • uv run python policyengine_us/tests/test_batched.py policyengine_us/tests/policy/baseline/gov/hhs/medicaid --batches 1
  • git diff --check -- touched Medicaid work requirement files
