Join The Boston Foundation virtually on Nov. 20 from 9 - 10:30 a.m. for the release of their latest report. Foundation Board member, MaryLou Sudders will share perspectives as part of the panel discussion.

The Medicaid cuts directed by the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)” are indirect: rather than lowering funding levels, the law requires every state to adopt new eligibility checks and work requirements, assuming these added hurdles will shrink enrollment and reduce spending.

Please join us virtually on Nov. 20th for the release of our latest report in the Boston Indicators Meeting the Moment series: A Massachusetts Model for Medicaid Work Requirements. Produced in partnership with Boston Indicators and the Center for State Policy Analysis at Tufts University, this report examines how MA can respond with careful administrative choices, creative data sharing, and deliberate outreach to build a model that protects tens of thousands of residents and helps the state retain more of its federal Medicaid dollars.

Join us online on Nov. 20th at 9AM. Register here: https://bit.ly/4442Hr7.
