House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said “every study” has shown that work requirements for federal assistance put more people to work. But far from every study has found that.
that found that work requirements"show little effect on family income or income relative to poverty," because gains in work income were often canceled out by the loss of federal aid.Supporters say that even if the employment gains are modest, they might be worthwhile as long as the policy also had no other negative side effects. But critics say these rules do bring negative consequences.
The resulting bureaucratic hassle can make this reporting requirement difficult, especially if a recipient has little education and limited internet access, experts said. For example, if recipients who are working make a reporting mistake or fail to complete the required paperwork, they can be dropped from the benefit.
analysis:"Over the seven months of 2018 that the requirement was in effect, about 23% of Medicaid recipients who were subject to it lost coverage for failure to comply.". Under the House-approved plan being considered by the Senate, negotiators agreed to lift from 49 to 54 the maximum age for the 80-hour-per-month work requirements, as long as the recipient is not disabled and has no dependents. For the first time, however, veterans, homeless people, and people transitioning from foster care would be exempted from the work requirement.
