11 outletsA federal judge blocked the Trump administration's rule that would have narrowed exceptions to work requirements, forcing chronically ill recipients to prove their medical frailty to avoid work mandates. The judge ruled that the administration exceeded its authority under the Medicaid Act, preserving the broader exceptions for the medically frail.
The claim is well-supported by multiple reputable news outlets (Reuters, AP, PBS) reporting on the court ruling. The primary source is the ruling by U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns, which is a matter of public record. The reporting is consistent and directly sourced from the court decision.
This is genuinely new: the ruling was issued on October 29, 2026, and reported within the last day.
We reported on the Trump administration releasing rules for new Medicaid work requirements in June 2026, and on a judge denying states' motion to postpone the requirements in July 2026.
