To stay on Medicaid, Arkansas is requiring ppl to log 80 working hours per month, ONLINE. Even tho low-income & older people have some of lowest internet adoption rates in the US #digitaldividecitylab.com/equity/2018/08…
In the 1st month of the new system, 26% of the state's Medicaid recipients failed to successfully report.
Just like patronizing work requirements, politicians are exploiting the #DigitalDivide to make benefits less accessible for poor folks & elders.
