Starting at the end of this year, adults in Missouri's Medicaid expansion group will need to report 80 hours a month of work, school or approved volunteering, and eligibility will be checked twice a year. People with disabilities and some parents are exempt. Keep your address current, save pay stubs or school records, and use the state's online screener to see if the rules apply to you.
