Community Engagement Requirement for Certain Individuals. CMS-2454-IFC Display

An individual with autism and other disabilities expresses opposition to proposed Medicaid cuts and the imposition of work requirements. The commenter argues that these actions threaten the essential support services, such as job coaching, that they rely on to maintain employment and independence.

The commenter expresses their approval of the Interim Final Rule regarding community engagement requirements for certain trade agreements. They request the implementation of the rule and express support for the protection of civilian personnel during the economic production trade agreement implementation.

Yvonne Farrell argues that the proposed action unfairly penalizes low-income seniors who are already retired from the workforce and rely on Social Security and food stamps. She requests that the government rescind the work requirements and roll back the incentives to age 50 to allow for a dignified retirement.

The commenter opposes the proposed bill, expressing concern that individuals eligible for exemptions may still be incorrectly penalized or removed from Medicaid. They cite past experiences in other states as evidence that the current system is prone to errors and should not be enacted in its current form.
