Georgia Sues to Extend Medicaid Program with Work Requirement

The state challenges the Biden administration's decision, aiming to keep the unique health plan running until 2028.

Georgia is suing the Biden administration to extend its Medicaid program with a work requirement until 2028.
The program, Georgia Pathways, is the only Medicaid program in the country with a work requirement and is set to expire in September 2025.
A federal judge previously ruled the Biden administration's revocation of the work requirement and premium charges as illegal.
As of mid-December, the program had enrolled just under 2,350 people, with the state estimating it could add 100,000 poor and uninsured residents.
The lawsuit seeks a court order to extend the program, arguing the federal government's actions reduced its originally approved term.
