2019 Senate Bill 362: Ease reporting requirements for able-bodied Medicaid expansion beneficiaries
Public Act 50 of 2019
Introduced by Sen. Curtis Hertel, Jr. D-East Lansing on June 5, 2019
To grant greater leeway in the individual “workforce engagement” reporting requirements submitted by able-bodied individuals accepting health coverage benefits under the Medicaid expansion authorized by the federal Affordable Care Act. A 2018 law made getting a job, job-training or meeting community service requirements a condition of able-bodied individuals accepting these benefits. Among other things the bill would not require reporting from an individual whose status can be confirmed through other social welfare records. Official Text and Analysis.
