Arkansas Seeks ARHOME Medicaid Expansion Renewal, Includes Updated Work Requirements

Arkansas' Medicaid expansion program, ARHOME, undergoes mandatory renewal every five years. The Arkansas Department of Human Services has submitted a renewal application to federal authorities that incorporates updates to work requirements for program recipients. Additionally, the state legislature enacted Act 774 earlier this year, targeting over $260 million in potential taxpayer savings within the ARHOME program. These developments reflect ongoing regulatory and financial management efforts affecting Medicaid expansion and related compliance frameworks in Arkansas.
