Description
Will Nonprofits Be Asked to Verify Medicaid Volunteer Hours? Understanding H.R. 1's New Requirements
The Nonprofit Alliance invites you to join a timely webinar exploring one of the most significant—and least understood—nonprofit implications of H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Medicaid Work Requirements and Volunteer Service: What Nonprofits Need to Know
Thursday, July 9, 2026
2:00-3:00 p.m. ET
The recently enacted H.R. 1 establishes new Medicaid "community engagement" requirements for certain beneficiaries and explicitly allows volunteer service to count toward compliance. As states begin planning implementation, nonprofit organizations are asking important questions:
- What volunteer activities are likely to qualify?
- Will nonprofits be asked to track or verify volunteer hours?
- What administrative, legal, or operational risks should organizations anticipate?
- How can nonprofits engage with state policymakers to shape implementation?
- What steps should organizations take now to prepare?
Join The Nonprofit Alliance for a practical discussion designed for nonprofit leaders, volunteer managers, public policy professionals, human resources teams, compliance staff, and community engagement leaders.
