Beginning Jan. 1, 2027, able-bodied adults enrolled in HIP will be required to complete 80 hours each month of work, job training, education or community service in order to remain eligible for coverage, while maintaining sensible exemptions for individuals who are pregnant, medically frail, caring for loved ones, receiving substance abuse treatment or facing other qualifying circumstances.
