News π° SoonerCare Starting Jan 1st
Hey yβall. Here to update anyone who hasnβt gotten the letter yet or doesnβt keep up with this stuff, that weβre now pulling a SNAPs on Medicaid. Starting Jan 1st, 2027 you have to have one of the following work requirements:
* Have a monthly income of $580
* Be a seasonal worker and have an avg monthly income over the previous 6 months that is at least $580
* Work at least 80 hours
* Complete at least 80 hours of community service
* Participate in a work program for at least 80 hours
* Be actively enrolled in an educational program at least half-time
*Engage in any combination of the above for at least a total of 80 hours.
Iβll also share the pictures of the letter as well that has this information and a little more.
This was mailed to me yesterday by the way.
Iβm extremely concerned and frustrated over this. I may only be 21, but I work with the homeless and itβs already tough to get them food. Now theyβre losing the insurance that they literally need so badly.
