Read original story ↗Major eligibility restrictions in Trump's 2025 tax-and-spending law take effect after the November midterms. States must impose work requirements on certain adults by January 1, 2027, and review expansion adults' eligibility more often. KFF identifies these changes as drivers of coverage losses. Some states implemented work requirements earlier, and other provisions have different start dates.
