CMS announces optional hold harmless period for Medicaid work requirement
CMS said the optional hold harmless period runs through June 30, 2027, giving states a transition period to modernize systems and improve the beneficiary experience. States that implement the hold harmless period will assess whether individuals meet the work requirement or are excluded from it, but they will not deny applications or disenroll otherwise eligible individuals solely for failure to meet the requirement.
