Judge refuses to extend timeframe for Georgia's new Medicaid plan, only one with work requirement
ATLANTA (AP) — A federal judge ruled that the Biden administration complied with the law when it declined to grant an extension to Georgia’s year-old Medicaid plan, which is the only one in the country that has a work requirement for recipients of the publicly funded health coverage for low-income people. The state didn’t comply with federal rules for an extension, so the Biden administration legally rejected its request to extend the Georgia Pathways to Coverage program’s expiration date from September 2025 to 2028, U.S. Judge Lisa Godbey Wood ruled Monday. Republican Gov. Brian Kemp’s office said it would work with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to “continue to pursue the necessary time to demonstrate the program’s viability.” “Just as before, we remain committed to this Georgia-specific, innovative initiative that leads not only to healthcare coverage but to better opportunity and coverage options for those who enroll in the program,” spokesman Garrison Douglas said in a statement.
