Wisconsin health dept. introduces BadgerCare recipients to new federal work requirement

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has launched a webpage to inform BadgerCare recipients about a new federal work requirement for Medicaid, set to take effect in 2027. The requirement mandates 80 hours of work or volunteer service monthly for childless adults aged 19–64, with exemptions for certain health conditions. The policy stems from HR 1, passed in 2025 under President Donald Trump.
