Congresswoman McClellan Introduces Bill to Protect Medicaid Coverage for Virginians
Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan, along with Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr., has introduced the Medicaid Outreach and Assistance for Communities Act of 2026. This legislation aims to help Americans maintain their Medicaid coverage amidst new work reporting requirements set to begin in 2027 under H.R. 1. The bill mandates federal assistance to ensure Medicaid recipients can navigate these new administrative challenges. Virginia plans to start outreach efforts in early June to inform residents about these changes. The bill also provides financial support to states for Medicaid outreach and enrollment assistance, particularly for those affected by the new work-reporting requirements.
