Although Arkansas was one of 12 states that received approval to adopt Medicaid work requirements a few years ago, no policies are currently in effect.

Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders intends to add a work requirement for Arkansans to access Medicaid. Her predecessor, former Gov. Asa Hutchinson, tried to implement requirements for Medicaid but a federal judge blocked the policy after 18,000 people lost coverage.
