Medicaid Changes Coming in 2027 | Harrisburg News

Pennsylvania’s Medicaid is about to change big time—starting in 2027, nearly 700,000 adults will get letters warning them of new work requirements. Under a federal law from July 2025, most adults 19–64 without kids under 14 must prove they’re working or have a valid exemption when applying and renewing coverage. “Working” includes 80 hours/month of job, volunteer, training, or school (half-time). If your household earns $580+/month, you’re exempt. Health reasons, pregnancy, caregiving, and other cases qualify for exemptions too. Renewals will shift from annual to every six months. Get ready—this affects how you stay covered. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
