Nebraska becomes first state to implement Medicaid work requirements

Nebraska is the first U.S. state to implement Medicaid work requirements under the GOP's "big, beautiful bill" law.

CBS News reported that Nebraska is seven months ahead of the deadline under the law.

The new rules apply to those who are enrolled in Medicaid under an expansion that permitted about 70,000 low- and middle-income earners in Nebraska to qualify for the program, CBS reported.
