Federal law requires some Medicaid members to take part in work requirements or community engagement activities to keep their Medicaid coverage. This change will not affect most Louisiana Medicaid members.

Work requirements or community engagement activities include work, work programs, education and volunteering/community service.

As families across Louisiana settle into the school year, Louisiana Healthcare Connections is encouraging parents and children to make physical activity and healthy routines part of their everyday lives during National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month in September.
