Work requirements for TennCare receipients
The Tennessee House on Monday passed legislation to require certain able-bodied TennCare recipients to spend 20 hours a week working, volunteering or attending school. The vote came after Republican Gov. Bill Haslam said he supports the legislation. The bill sponsored by Republican House Speaker Beth Harwell requests a federal waiver, which is allowing state Medicaid work requirements. It will be funded with money from the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. Parents and caretakers of children 6 years or older would be required to work. House Democrats have criticized the bill, saying it would make it harder for poor families to access health care because of reduced funding.
