How is New Hampshire implementing Medicaid work requirements under SB 134?

SB 134 directs the Department of Health and Human Services to add work requirements to the state's Medicaid program to match a new federal standard. After a series of subcommittee hearings on amendment language in the fall of 2025, HHS told lawmakers on June 19, 2026 that the department intends to file a state plan amendment on the tighter federal timeline rather than pursue an 1115 waiver, and is working through how to verify 'medical frailty' exemptions.
