SB 134 New Hampshire Senate · 2025 Regular Session

relative to work requirements under the state Medicaid program.

SB 134 requires New Hampshire Medicaid applicants (specifically those subject to federal work requirements under Public Law 119-21) to provide documentary evidence proving they meet work or community engagement standards at application and quarterly thereafter. It prohibits self-attestation for verification and mandates strict medical exemptions only for conditions certified by healthcare providers (e.g., physical/mental disabilities significantly impacting daily living). Individuals failing to comply face a 30-day notice period before potential disenrollment from Medicaid. The bill aligns state implementation with federal requirements, explicitly stating federal law supersedes state provisions if conflicts arise.
