Outlets disagree on this: The OBBBA/H.R. 1 requires Medicaid expansion individuals to engage in community service, work, or educational activities for 80 hours monthly. One new claim from newson6.com and news9.com states the OBBBA mandates a 15% reduction in federal Medicaid funding as a distinct provision, which was not previously recorded and adds a new specific mechanism beyond the work requirement language already on record.
