When “Exempt” Isn’t Enough: Medicaid Work Requirements and Maternal Mental Health

Invitation: When “Exempt” Isn’t Enough: Medicaid Work Requirements and Maternal Mental Health

Medicaid work requirements are set to take effect soon, creating a burdensome administrative process that most enrollees will need to navigate to keep their coverage. Certain populations are exempt from these requirements—including people who are pregnant or postpartum, and those parenting a child age 13 or under. But exemption doesn’t mean automatic protection: in most cases, individuals must actively prove or attest to their exempt status, often through paperwork and verification processes that are easy to miss or misunderstand.

On paper, this should mean pregnant, postpartum, and parenting individuals face no risk to their health insurance. In practice, the complexity of federal rules—combined with the burden of proving an exemption rather than simply receiving one—will inevitably create confusion, fear, and unnecessary coverage loss for people who qualify.

For people who are pregnant, postpartum, or parenting, this could mean slipping through the cracks of a system that assumes they’re protected but doesn’t make that protection easy to keep—worsening maternal mental health in the process. For people of childbearing age more broadly, it could mean losing access to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy counseling that helps them achieve and maintain healthy pregnancies. Join Funders for Maternal Mental Health and Grantmakers In Health on October 14th from 2 pm – 3:15 pm ET / 11 am – 12:15 pm PT for a webinar on this timely topic.

Grantmakers In Health is pleased to convene the CEO Working Group in October, to offer foundation leaders who have been in their position for less than five years the opportunity to discuss the challenges they are facing as new CEOs with one another and seasoned leaders in the field. These calls are open to GIH Funding Partner CEOs, Presidents, Executive Directors, or the highest-ranking health staff at multi-issue foundations. During these candid, confidential conversations, philanthropic leaders share information, swap strategies, raise concerns, and ask for one another’s advice. Reach out to Ann Rodgers to learn more.

SNAP Funder Working Group: Advocacy Opportunities Post-Election

One year after the passage of H.R. 1, analysis from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities finds that at least 1.5 million fewer children — and more than 4.5 million fewer people overall — are receiving SNAP food assistance. SNAP participation has dropped in every state except Alaska, and by as much as 10 percent in some states. The harms to communities will continue to grow as states fully implement eligibility restrictions. This Working Group Call will provide a space for funders to share where they are focusing efforts, where they see the biggest funding gaps, and where there are opportunities to align with other funders. We will also use this time to gather input on future discussion topics and determine the Working Group meeting cadence going forward.
