Arkansas Works: Updated Data and New Report Examine Enrollees’ Experiences and Perspectives
Nearly 17,000 Arkansas residents have lost their Medicaid coverage since September for failure to comply with the states’ first-in-the-nation work requirements tied to Medicaid eligibility. An updated KFF (Kaiser Family Foundation) issue brief examines the details behind those numbers based on the state’s latest data report released Monday.
In addition, KFF is releasing a new report highlighting enrollees’ experiences under the Arkansas Works program. Based on focus groups conducted with 31 affected enrollees and interviews with four safety-net providers, the report highlights issues enrollees are having with the new work requirement.
Additional research related to Medicaid work requirements in Arkansas and other states, as well as research about the intersection of Medicaid and work, can be found here.
Filling the need for trusted information on national health issues, the Kaiser Family Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in San Francisco, California.
