Letter to Sec. Azar on the Impact of Work Requirements on Parents and Families

CDF joined other national organizations to express our concern about the possibility of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMW) approving pending section 1115 waiver requests to impose work-reporting requirements on very low-income parents and caregivers covered by Medicaid. Approval of these requests would be extremely harmful to very vulnerable children and their families and would directly contradict the objectives of the Medicaid program.

Comments on DHS’s Proposed Public Charge Rule

CDF submitted comments to urge the Department of Homeland Security to withdraw its proposal to revise the definition of 'public charge" and to dedicate its efforts to advancing policies that strengthen - rather than undermine - the ability of immigrants to support themselves and their families now and in the future.

Comments on DHS’s Proposed Changes to the Flores Settlement

CDF submitted comments to recommend that DHS and HHS withdraw their proposed rule without delay and commit their energy instead to ensuring robust, good-faith compliance with the Flores settlement agreement. CDF strongly believes that every child who comes into the custody of the federal government should be guaranteed the care, protection and services necessary to mitigate further trauma and promote healthy development, including access to their family.

Comments on Proposed Medicaid Work Requirements in Kentucky

CDF submitted comments urging HHS to reject Kentucky's proposed work requirements for Medicaid eligibility. CDF remains very concerned that any work requirements being implemented in Medicaid will harm children as parents and caregivers lose the health coverage they need to work and offer quality care to their children.
