Have You Enrolled in Georgia’s Medicaid Work Requirement Program? We’d Like to Hear From You.


Last year, Georgia began a program called Pathways to Coverage, which allows lower-income residents to secure Medicaid health insurance if they complete 80 hours each month of professional, academic or community activities. People who are working part- or full-time, have completed community service or are pursuing a college education can qualify, and can mix the different activities to be eligible.

Pathways is the only Medicaid work requirement program in the country.

If you are one of those enrollees, or can share something about the program, The New York Times would like to hear from you. We’re trying to understand more about what the enrollment experience is like and any challenges people in the program have faced staying in it.

For those who have enrolled, we’d also like to know: Did you get help from a clinic or hospital? Have state officials helped with your application? What kind of professional or community work did you complete to secure eligibility? Did you enroll as a student? We’re also eager to talk to health providers, people who have formerly enrolled and those who have attempted to enroll in Pathways.

We will read every response, and won’t publish any part of your response without following up with you first, verifying your information and hearing back from you. We won’t share your contact information outside our newsroom or use it for any reason other than to get in touch with you.

If you would feel more comfortable contacting us anonymously, you can do so through our tips page.
