Medicaid work requirement: what your state has published
Each state decides how it checks the work rule. Where a state has published enough to answer (at least three of: when it starts, whether your own word counts in 2027, the months it looks back, how it checks medical frailty), it has its own page with every source. Where it has not, it says so.
