(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued the following statement regarding the Biden Administration’s decision to withdraw approval of Ohio’s Medicaid Work Requirement Waiver:
“The Biden Administration’s announcement withdrawing approval of Ohio’s Medicaid work requirement waiver is extremely disappointing. Ohio’s reasonable approach provided individuals with options while supporting them on their way to self-sufficiency. The Biden Administration’s decision was shortsighted and contrary to our statewide effort to improve public health. By requiring an individual to work, learn new job skills, or be involved in a recovery program, Ohioans would be providing critical assistance to individuals when they needed it while laying the groundwork for their success in the future.”
