Medicaid work requirements in Tennessee

Tennessee has not expanded Medicaid, so the new work requirements reach only a small number of adults covered through its waiver. People in addiction treatment and people with a substance use disorder or disabling mental health condition may be exempt. See who is exempt and what to do.
