1/22/2018 Group Watch: AL Seeking Medicaid Waiver
Alabama may become one of nearly a dozen mostly Republican states that are seeking a waiver from the federal government that could allow the state to institute work requirements for some of those who are on Medicaid. Governor Kay Ivey recently said that she has directed the Medicaid Commissioner to begin working on seeking a waiver for the requirement and increasing co-pays for beneficiaries. States are typically required to request waivers from the federal government for changes to their Medicaid programs.
