New Issue Brief Explains the Latest Court Ruling Blocking Arkansas’ Medicaid Work and Reporting Requirements A new issue brief from KFF explains the recent unanimous ruling by U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit blocking Medicaid work requirements in Arkansas. The ruling likely ultimately affects not only the Arkansas Medicaid program and its enrollees but also is being watched by other states with pending litigation over Medicaid work requirements, other states with waiver approvals and those seeking federal approvals for work requirements, as well as other states considering adopting similar policies. The explainer provides answers to three key questions about the case and its implications: What is the rationale behind the appeal court’s decision setting aside Arkansas’ waiver amendment? What happens next in Arkansas? What does the decision mean for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and other states that want to condition Medicaid coverage on work and reporting requirements?
