The three major changes under the OBBB Act: six-month review for Medicaid holders, minimum working hours, and trust review.

The recent implementation of the "One Big Beautiful Bill" (OBBB) Act has tightened regulations for Medicaid, with a particularly significant impact on low-income applicants who are able to work.

This video, presented by Attorney Yang, provides a quick analysis of the three latest changes:

1️⃣ The recertification cycle has been shortened: once a year → once every six months. The qualification review is more frequent, and income and family information need to be kept up-to-date. The slightest negligence may result in the suspension of qualifications.

2️⃣ New minimum working hours requirement: at least 80 hours per month. Temporary workers, casual workers, or those with cash income should pay special attention to whether their working hour certificates are complete.

3️⃣ Nursing Home applications will be subject to strict scrutiny of Medicaid trusts. If assets have been transferred to a trust, the government will examine the timing and purpose of the asset transfer, which may affect long-term care applications.

These changes may affect Medicaid applications, recertification, and long-term care plans. If you or a family member relies on Medicaid, be sure to understand the latest regulations to avoid losing eligibility due to policy updates.
