Adults who joined Medicaid through Missouri's expansion will need to report 80 hours a month of work, school or approved volunteering, and eligibility checks will move to every six months. People with disabilities and families with children are exempt, and kids keep coverage even if a parent doesn't comply. The state suggests using its online screener, saving pay stubs and keeping your address current.
