Show Notes
Montanas state health department is set to implement new federal work requirements for Medicaid recipients in July, demanding eighty hours per month of community activities. A three-month grace period will allow officials to send warning notices and connect individuals to job services. The program covers around 119,000 adults, with lawmakers backing the changes to reduce fraud and critics arguing it may disqualify eligible recipients. The department has hired new staff and plans to add more to manage the influx, with a cost of $4.3 million a year.
