AAPD Webinar: Understanding New Medicaid Requirements 

Join the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) for an important webinar on the new Medicaid work requirements. Starting on January 1, 2027, these requirements will significantly impact many Medicaid beneficiaries.

The budget reconciliation bill, or H.R.1, was signed into law on July 4, 2025. This bill cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid and threatens the health coverage of 17 million Americans. It will cause a major crisis in our healthcare system, which already faces difficulty supporting people with disabilities and has been under increased strain since the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020. Now that we are in 2026, the changes from this bill will begin to take effect soon, and the disability community must prepare for upcoming shifts in our healthcare system.

The goal of this webinar is to review expected changes, discuss how we should prepare for them, and highlight what we can do moving forward to lessen the harm of the changes. We aim to help our community understand the challenges ahead, while also recognizing that advocacy is always necessary and affirming that our fight to preserve Medicaid continues. 

When: February 18, 2026, 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET
Where: Register for the Zoom Webinar here. ASL and CART will be provided.
Who: Our panelists are 

  • Rachel Patterson, Disability and Health Policy Expert, Patterson&Meek
  • David Machledt, Senior Policy Analyst, National Health Law Program
  • Adela Flores-Brennan, Colorado Medicaid Director

Our expert panelists will provide a comprehensive overview of the new rules, focusing on what they mean for people with disabilities specifically. We will discuss:

  • The core work requirements and their implementation;
  • Which individuals and groups are exempt from the work requirements;
  • How to prepare to submit the necessary documentation to certify compliance or claim an exemption;
  • The expected timeline for receiving more detailed information and deadlines throughout 2026; and
  • How things may differ from state to state.

This session is crucial for anyone receiving Medicaid benefits who wants to learn how to keep their coverage under the new rules. Don't miss this chance to get informed and prepare in advance for these changes!
