Congress explicitly exempted people with disabilities and serious health conditions from new Medicaid work requirements. However, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) may force people with disabilities to prove not only that they have a qualifying condition, but also that it significantly limits their ability to work.

That could leave people with serious health conditions stuck in an impossible situation: They need Medicaid to manage their health and stay employed but could lose coverage because they cannot prove they are unable to work.

Tell Congress to urge CMS to remove this added work requirement and implement the law as written: https://dcmdva.easterseals.com/take-action/lend-your-voice/updates-on-issues

We are saddened to hear of Dolly Parton’s passing. She was committed to many of the same causes that Easterseals works toward, such as early education and literacy for every child. She encouraged children to dream big and she will be missed. 🧡

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
