OH SCR 5: Urge Presidential support for Medicaid work requirements

Score 50PRIMARYregulatoryState legislatureOH

Summary

Ohio SCR 5 is a concurrent resolution, adopted by the Ohio General Assembly, urging the President of the United States to support the Ohio Department of Medicaid's request to implement work requirements for certain Medicaid recipients. The resolution carries no binding legal force but signals Ohio's official legislative position in support of a pending Medicaid waiver request. It is relevant to the ongoing federal policy debate over Medicaid work requirement waivers under section 1115.

What this may mean

As a concurrent resolution, SCR 5 creates no binding obligations on healthcare organizations or the Medicaid program. The resolution's significance is political: it reflects Ohio's legislative support for a pending CMS waiver request that, if approved, would restrict Medicaid eligibility for certain enrollees and could reduce covered-lives counts for Ohio managed care plans and safety-net providers serving Medicaid populations.
