INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana’s Medicaid recipients — Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) members — are required to work at least 20 hours a week (or 80 hours a month) or participate in the Gateway to Work program, unless they meet a specific exemption requirement defined by Gateway to Work legislation.
The Gateway to Work Program requires participants to engage and report hours completed on qualifying activities for what will gradually increase to 80 hours per month for eight of 12 months in a calendar year. About 85,000 HIP members statewide will be required to report.
The reporting requirement rolls out in July, and there have been reports of confusion among HIP members. Indiana Legal Services, Inc., is one resource. It is a nonprofit law firm that provides free civil legal assistance to low-income Hoosiers. To contact Indiana Legal Services, visit the Web site www.indianalegalservices.org or call 317-631-9410
