Investivoq AI Summary
Harrigan introduces bill: Congressman Pat Harrigan says he has introduced the “No Gambling for Medicaid Act” to close what he describes as a loophole in new Medicaid work requirements. The bill would bar gambling winnings from counting toward those requirements, while preserving an exception for professional gamblers.
How the rule would change: The release says current policy could let someone report $580 in gambling winnings, even if they lost more overall, and still qualify for another six months of coverage without working. Harrigan says the change is meant to ensure the rules reflect actual employment.
Next step: According to the release, the legislation would amend the Social Security Act before the new Medicaid requirements take effect on January 1, 2027. It would next be referred to a House committee for consideration.
