flag South Carolina seeks to reinstate Medicaid work requirements to promote financial independence and improve health outcomes.

flag South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster has requested the federal government to reinstate the state's Medicaid Work Requirements, known as the Healthy Connections Community Engagement Initiative. flag This program requires qualifying Medicaid beneficiaries to complete 80 hours of work, job training, education, or community service monthly. flag The initiative aims to improve health outcomes and promote financial independence while addressing a coverage gap that discourages low-income families from earning more due to the risk of losing healthcare benefits. flag The program was approved under the Trump administration in 2019 but was withdrawn by the Biden administration in 2021 and paused during the pandemic.
