LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge filed her brief in Arkansas’s U.S. Supreme Court case concerning Arkansas Works and a companion case concerning New Hampshire’s similar program.
The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments later in 2021. In this case, Rutledge seeks to defend Arkansas Works’ community-engagement requirements.
“I look forward to the U.S. Supreme Court hearing our case on why Arkansas’s community-engagement requirements will help build a better future for Arkansans, Rutledge said. Arkansas Works reaffirms Arkansas s commitment to improving the health of Arkansans and ensuring the Medicaid program is sustainable.
