Upcoming Medicaid Work Requirements
June 12, 2026
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) has received federal guidance about the new federal Medicaid work requirement states must implement and is actively conducting a comprehensive review. The requirement was signed into law on July 4, 2025, in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). OBBBA required the federal government to issue guidance by June 1, 2026.
The federal Medicaid work requirement for states will go into effect early next year. Because of the new federal requirements, some adults enrolled in BadgerCare Plus will need to show that they work, go to school, or volunteer, to keep their coverage.
DHS will provide an update about the Medicaid work requirement at our upcoming webinar. This webinar will take place on Thursday, June 18, 2026, at 2 p.m.
