Iowa Medicaid recipients could be required to work each month. Governor Kim Reynolds signed the bill into law before the weekend, making able-bodied Iowans subject to work requirements. However, Reynolds directed the state's Department of Health and Human Services to submit a federal waiver for the work requirement law. If approved, the proposal would require Iowans covered by Medicaid to work at least 80 hours per month, with 32-thousand residents potentially losing coverage due to the work requirements. The waiver has not been submitted yet.
