Community engagement requirements established for the medical assistance program.

Summary

The bill adds a new community‑engagement requirement to Minnesota’s medical assistance program. Applicants and those renewing benefits must show they have completed at least 80 hours in a month of work, community service, a qualifying work program, half‑time schooling, a combination of these activities, or earned an income at or above the federal minimum‑wage level, unless they qualify for an exception. Numerous groups—including students, American Indians, caregivers, disabled veterans, SNAP recipients, treatment‑program participants, inmates, and medically frail individuals—are exempt or may apply for an exception.
