2019 Senate Bill 362 / Public Act 50

Ease reporting requirements for able-bodied Medicaid expansion beneficiaries

Introduced in the Senate

June 5, 2019

Introduced by Sen. Curtis Hertel (D-23)

To grant greater leeway in the individual “workforce engagement” reporting requirements submitted by able-bodied individuals accepting health coverage benefits under the Medicaid expansion authorized by the federal Affordable Care Act. A <a href="https://www.michiganvotes.org/2018-SB-897">2018 law</a> made getting a job, job-training or meeting community service requirements a condition of able-bodied individuals accepting these benefits. Among other things the bill would not require reporting from an individual whose status can be confirmed through other social welfare records.
