Hi Everyone! i've been reading a lot about the OBBA & now that it's passed I was wondering if anyone could answer some questions I have resulting from this. I have just a recently applied and been accepted to Medicaid under an ABP plan in NJ. I am currently in the process of applying for SSDI and SSI ( it's been about two months my application is on step 3 of 5). with that being said, I have no formal decision from SSA stating I am disabled. with these new work requirements and not having this decision from SSA how would I prove that I cannot work due to this in the meantime of waiting for this decision from SSA. I'm sure there has to be something as I've seen others in my exact situation however, I haven't found anything explicitly stating acceptable proof to get this exemption of medically, frail or disabled under the new bill. if anyone has more specific details or knowledge on what exactly will be needed such as forms, doctors notes, medical/ hospital records as other acceptable forms to get this exemption that would be great.
My other question was when can we expect to see these implementations take effect? i've seen certain things say by the end of 2026 and other seeing states can file for extensions, etc. and not have to implement till 2028.
thank you in advance for responding to this post!
