Beginning January 1, 2027, Indiana Medicaid will implement work requirements for certain adults enrolled in the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP). Eligible members may need to complete qualifying work, education, job training, volunteer activities, or meet income requirements to maintain coverage.

• HIP members may need to work, volunteer or go to school 20 hours per week.
• Having household income above $580 per month for each HIP member will satisfy the work requirement, regardless of how many hours are worked.
• FSSA has many possible exemptions for the work requirements.
• FSSA will look for qualifying work activities up to 90 days prior to the date of application in order to qualify for HIP.
• Hendricks Regional Health has trained ClaimAid Advocates available to help you report qualifying activities or establish an exemption to the work requirements.

They can assist with:

• Medicaid
• Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP)
• Hospital Presumptive Eligibility (HPE)
• Marketplace health insurance plans
• HIP work requirement questions and reporting assistance
• Benefits Portal navigation
• Work requirement exemption guidance

ClaimAid’s trained navigators can help you understand your options and complete the necessary applications and forms.

To help complete an application, please bring:

• Names, dates of birth and Social Security numbers for everyone applying for coverage
• A photo ID for applicants age 16 and older
• Proof of citizenship or immigration status
• Proof of income for the past 90 days
