Members,

Nebraska will be implementing work requirements for those on Medicaid starting May 1, 2026. The Department of Health and Human Services will have an upcoming webinar regarding those requirements.

On Wednesday, April 29, the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services will host a Webex from 12 to 1pm CST regarding HR 1 work requirements. This session is designed specifically for providers.

During the webinar, Nebraska Medicaid and Long-Term Care (MLTC) will outline the state's approach to the Medicaid work requirements. Nebraska plans to implement these requirements beginning May 1st.

This session is intended to be an open and collaborative discussion. Participants have an opportunity to share feedback which will assist MLTC as they refine outreach, education materials, and implementation planning.

Participants do not need to register. To attend the webinar on April 29, 2026 at 12pm CST, simply click this link: https://sonvideo.webex.com/wbxmjs/joinservice/sites/sonvideo/meeting/download/3459ee0873c14d2d82e9ccedc7a71bd4?MTID=mfcdf4f05635cf66d52f1e4aa5878af8b

If you have questions, feedback, or concerns, we strongly encourage you attend this webinar.

Growth doesn’t always happen in a classroom or an office—sometimes it happens on a trail, in a kayak, or under an open sky.

Adventure for All is creating those spaces—where individuals are supported to try new things, build confidence, and experience the joy of achievement.

At our spring conference fundraiser, the Nebraska Counseling Association is honored to invest in this life-changing work.

✨ Your support fuels possibility.
Donate here: https://adventureforall.app.neoncrm.com/forms/nca-x-afa-fundraiser

We’ll match the first $250, doubling the impact of your generosity.

And if you feel called to do more—your time and presence matter.
