The Medicaid work requirement meets its first faces as Ohio mandates GPS visit verification, Tennessee ties children's care to immigration reporting, and Social Security's 2032 depletion date lands on the care economy.

Background

Proof became the price of care this week: a blood cancer survivor must document her frailty under new Medicaid guidance, Ohio's home-care workforce will clock in by GPS, and immigrant parents in Tennessee must weigh a child's life-sustaining treatment against a report to federal officials.

What to watch next

  • Who qualifies for a medical frailty exemption under the new Medicaid guidance, and who carries the burden of proving it?
  • What does GPS-backed visit verification change for the family caregivers Ohio lawmakers just voted to keep paying?
  • What happens to children enrolled in Tennessee's Children's Special Services after the June 30 decision deadline?
  • Can Social Security absorb the cost of uncounted care work while facing a 22 percent across-the-board benefit cut in 2032?
