針對醫療保健政策的一項重大轉變，聯邦醫療保險和補助服務中心（CMS）已敲定針對醫療補助計畫（Medicaid）的全國性新工作要求。
In a significant shift for healthcare policy, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has finalized new nationwide work requirements for the Medicaid program.
根據國會通過的 H.R.
Stemming from the H.R. 1 legislation passed by Congress, these rules mandate that non-pregnant adults aged 19 to 64, not enrolled in Medicare, must engage in at least 80 hours per month of work, job training, or community service to maintain eligibility.
1 法案，這些規則強制要求 19 至 64 歲且未參加聯邦醫療保險（Medicare）的非孕期成人，每月必須參與至少 80 小時的工作、職業培訓或社區服務，以維持資格。
While certain groups—such as those with disabilities, veterans, and caregivers—are exempt, the policy requires formal documentation to verify compliance.
儘管特定族群（如身心障礙者、退伍軍人及照護者）可獲豁免，但該政策要求提供正式文件以驗證合規性。
States are expected to implement these changes by January 1, 2027, though some may seek extensions until 2028.
此項政策引發了激烈辯論。
Proponents believe the requirements will foster economic independence and program integrity.
隨著各州急於利用政府撥款升級系統，全國正密切關注此轉型將如何影響數百萬依賴醫療補助計畫維持健康與福祉的美國民眾。
