- Abstract
Many social services have work requirements. Notably, Medicaid has no requirement that healthy, able-bodied beneficiaries work to receive benefits. There have been attempts at incorporating work requirement policies into several US states, but only a few have been implemented. The effect of work requirements has been studied in several other federally funded programs such as TANF, SNAP, and historically in the Civilian Corps created by Franklin Roosevelt. In general, these programs seem to have modest improvements in employment but are better when implemented with work supports which show improvement in employment and income. In this study, we examine the history of work requirements in Medicaid and other social programs to see which policies have the most effect on enrollment and employment.
