Why we checked itSpecific threshold claim about Medicaid work requirements — the 80-hour figure is a specific policy detail that can be verified against proposed or enacted legislation.
What we foundThe 80-hour threshold is a real feature of the law, but the claim that working at least 80 hours will protect Medicaid coverage is overstated because multiple credible, independent sources show that even workers meeting the hours can lose coverage due to reporting and documentation failures.
