State agency might redefine `work'
Workforce Commission proposal would tie Medicaid benefits to personal behavior

The Texas Workforce Commission is attempting to redefine the word "work" in a way that could cut off Medicaid benefits to thousands of Texans who don't follow a list of state behavioral rules.

The proposed rule would affect more than 350,000 adults who receive both Medicaid and cash assistance through Temporary Aid for Needy Families.

The rule would expand the definition of "work" to include such things as maintaining children's immunizations, avoiding drug and alcohol abuse, and making sure children attend school.

Adults who fail to live up to any of the items on the list would lose Medicaid coverage. Their children would not be affected.
