Premiums and work requirements under discussion
New Hampshire implemented the expansion on August 15, 2014 and has a trigger law that ends it if the federal match falls.[KFF] Its 2025–2027 budget directs the state to seek work requirements and premiums for expansion adults, and in September 2026 it opened public comment on a waiver to charge premiums to adults at or above 100% of the poverty line — even though federal law bars such premiums from October 1, 2028.[KFF]
