Nebraska becomes first state to implement Medicaid work requirements
Nebraska implemented Medicaid work requirements on May 1, 2024, under the GOP's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, requiring beneficiaries to prove employment. The state is implementing the requirement eight months ahead of the national January 2025 deadline set by President Trump's budget law. Nebraska's rollout will serve as a test case for how other states will handle similar requirements.
