Georgia’s Medicaid plan that requires work has struggled since it’s implementation in 2022.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services had blocked the work requirement from taking effect but a federal judge had reinstated it in 2022 after Georgia sued.
As of June 7, 2024, the program had 4,318 members, according to the Georgia Department of Community Health, but state officials expected it would cover about 25,000 or more.
The program, formally titled Pathways to Coverage, requires recipients to demonstrate at least 80 hours of work, volunteering, schooling or vocational rehabilitation monthly.
