HB 50 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Medicaid; require division to conduct study on impacts of any mandatory work requirements in any enacted Medicaid expansion program.

HB 50 requires Mississippi's Medicaid Division to study how mandatory work reporting requirements in Medicaid expansion programs affect beneficiaries. It mandates collecting data on terminations due to work rule noncompliance, tracking health visits, employment changes, and barriers like illness or transportation issues. The study would analyze subgroups (e.g., rural vs. urban residents, education levels) from 2028 to 2032, reporting annual findings to lawmakers and the public. However, the bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and never became law. This procedural bill aimed to evaluate impacts but remains inactive.
