Arizona has quietly mothballed a controversial plan to require some 120,000 people who receive health insurance through that state’s Medicaid program to work, go to school or perform volunteer work, the Associated Press reported Monday.
Snyder’s letter comes less than a week after an Oct. 11 appellate hearing in a case challenging similar requirements in Arkansas and Kentucky.
Those states’ work requirements are already on hold after a federal judge blocked them.
That same judge later blocked work requirements enacted in New Hampshire, as well.
***CORRECTION: An earlier version incorrectly said the work requirements would begin in January 2020.
