REMINDER: New Healthy Michigan Plan Work Requirements

Starting January 1, 2027, some adults applying for or already receiving Medicaid through the Healthy Michigan Plan (HMP) will need to work or complete other approved activities to keep their health coverage.

Many people that need to meet this new requirement may already be doing so through work, school or other approved activities and some others may qualify for an exemption.

Who do work requirements apply to?
Work requirements only apply to people ages 19 – 64 who are on the Healthy Michigan Plan (HMP).

How do I check if I’m on the Healthy Michigan Plan?
To see if you have HMP coverage you can:
Check your MI Bridges account.
Check your myHealthPortal or myHealthButton account.
Contact your health plan.
Call the beneficiary help line at: 1-800-642-3195.

Some people are exempt (excused) from work requirements
Even if you're on HMP, you may be excused from meeting work requirements. This is called having an exemption.

Join the movement today—and fight for a healthcare system that puts our health first.
🔗 Registration link in 's bio!

We are One Nation, Overcharged. Together, we’re fighting for a healthcare system that works for everyone.
● We’re all paying the price of our broken healthcare system. 92% of small business owners say the current healthcare system is problematic, with 67% believing it’s not working at all and needs a major overhaul.
○ Premiums have gone up for 90% of small business owners in the past year. We’re
channeling our frustration into action.
○ Healthcare costs are out of control. 62% of small businesses don’t offer their employees
health insurance, with 60% citing costs as the reason.
● For too long, unchecked healthcare corporations have put their profits over people. It’s time for
those in power to finally hold them accountable and lower our healthcare costs.
● Let’s join together, raise our voices, and make the demand for a healthcare system that puts people
first impossible to ignore.
● Join One National Overcharged today! Your voice matters!
