Join us for the upcoming webinar on H.R. 1 work requirements and impacts for noncitizens

Last year, House Resolution 1 (H.R. 1) was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Donald Trump. This federal legislation will have significant impacts on Apple Health (Medicaid) eligibility.

H.R. 1 introduces new requirements that affect Apple Health coverage for Washington state residents.

Our top priority is to implement new federal requirements in ways that minimize coverage loss and reduce customer burden. To support this effort HCA is hosting a webinar focused on these impacts.

Who should attend?

Navigator organizations
HCA community partners
Anyone assisting individuals with Apple Health applications
