Section 71119 requires Medicaid community engagement as an eligibility condition, with state implementation by January 1, 2027 or later exemption to 2029.

The enacted statute created Medicaid work/community-engagement requirements and did not make enactment contingent on a CBO certification regarding single mothers' Medicaid eligibility.

CBO estimates the Medicaid chapter of Public Law 119-21 will increase the uninsured population by 7.5 million in 2034.

The work-requirement provision itself was projected to cause coverage losses, directly undercutting the promised condition that CBO first certify no reduction in eligibility for affected single mothers.
