Beginning in January 2027, some Medicaid (called Medical Assistance/MA in Pennsylvania) recipients will have to meet work requirements AND renew their Medicaid every six months (instead of every 12 months). This unprecedented change creates new rules and additional reporting requirements that could cause people who would usually qualify for Medicaid to lose coverage if they do not report properly and on time. These changes pose a large risk to families and communities across our state and our city — approximately 3 million people in Pennsylvania currently rely on Medicaid to access the care they need.
