H.J.Res.154

Missouri HJR154 proposes a constitutional amendment to establish work requirements for certain MO HealthNet recipients.

Missouri HJR154 proposes a constitutional amendment to modify eligibility for MO HealthNet services. It specifies that individuals aged 19-64 with incomes at or below 133% of the federal poverty level must meet work requirements to qualify for MO HealthNet. The amendment mandates that the Department of Social Services and the MO HealthNet Division implement these work requirements, including accepting self-attestation at the time of application and verifying exemptions. It also prohibits additional optional exemptions unless expressly authorized by a general statute law.
