IMPORTANT: Change to Medicaid Coming in 2027

Starting January 1, 2027, a new federal law requires some adults on Medicaid to report community engagement activities, commonly known as work requirements, to keep their Medicaid coverage. Louisiana Medicaid will notify members who need to meet requirements. The law impacts some Medicaid members between the ages of 19 and 64, who are not parents of young children or who do not have certain serious or complex medical conditions. 

A letter explaining the requirements will be mailed to impacted members several months before their next renewal date to allow them time to prepare. Members should be sure to keep their contact information up to date with Louisiana Medicaid so they do not miss these important updates or requests for information. 

MCNA has added the Louisiana Medicaid Work Requirement Fact Sheet to our website under Guides and Tools as a resource to help you understand this change. You can also visit the LDH website about the new work requirements to learn more.
