Will Work Requirements Impact Your MassHealth Eligibility?

The state is using $10 million and nearly 50 community groups to help members avoid coverage loss under new federal reporting rules.

  • On Tuesday, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey unveiled a public outreach campaign in Haverhill to help MassHealth members navigate new federal eligibility requirements and prevent coverage losses.
  • The changes stem from the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' a federal law President Donald Trump signed that mandates work and education reporting requirements for roughly 360,000 MassHealth members starting January 1.
  • Massachusetts allocated $10 million to Health Care For All and nearly 50 community organizations for enrollment support, with members required to meet an 80-hour monthly work requirement and exemptions for pregnancy, disability, and certain health conditions.
  • Healey criticized the mandates as 'unnecessary paperwork and confusing new requirements,' arguing these measures prioritize tax cuts for the wealthy over ensuring health care access.
  • State officials urge enrollees to update contact information and watch for blue renewal envelopes, while a new MassHealth website offers a screening tool to determine exemption eligibility.
