State officials are reaching out in various ways to educate Hoosiers about upcoming work requirements for able-bodied adults. Beginning Jan. 1, 2027, Indiana will implement work requirements for new applicants and existing Medicaid members eligible under HIP, which provides healthcare coverage for the state’s Medicaid expansion population. To help raise awareness of the new work requirements, starting July 21, the state will periodically text HIP members general information about the new requirements. The agency has also created a screening tool for HIP members check to see if they would but subject to or exempt from the work requirements. Once the information is entered, they will be able to review and submit their answers to see if they would be required to meet HIP Work Requirements.
