A federal judge on Friday reinstated a work requirement in Georgia’s plan to expand Medicaid coverage to more low-income residents.
U.S. District Judge Lisa Godbey Wood said the Biden administration’s decision to revoke approval of the work requirement and a related Georgia proposal to charge some Medicaid recipients monthly premiums was “arbitrary and capricious on numerous, independent grounds.”
She called the revocation “unlawful” and set it aside.
The work requirement was approved by then-President Donald Trump’s administration, but the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Centers announced last year that it was revoking approval of that part of the plan and the premium requirement. That prompted Georgia officials to sue.
