SSI
Continued Medicaid Coverage
The
1619(a) work incentive allows you to have earned income
over the Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) amount
without losing your continuing eligibility for Supplemental
Security Income (SSI). Under Section 1619B,
individuals earning less than the the Florida threshold who
1) used Medicaid during the past 12 months;
2) expects to use Medicaid in the next 12 months;
3) would be unable to pay expected medical bills without
Medicaid coverage may continue to be eligible for Medicaid
The Threshold amount may be adjusted upwards depending
on the individual situation. SSA should be consulted.
SSDI Continued Medicare Benefits
Most individuals with disabilities who
work will continue to receive at least 93 consecutive
months of hospital and supplementary medical insurance
under Medicare, after a nine month Trial Work Period.
You do not pay a premium for hospital insurance.
Some individuals who have returned to
work may buy continued Medicare coverage, as long as
they remain medically disabled. |
Florida
Work Incentive Medicaid Coverage
The Medicaid Buy-In program offers Medicaid coverage
to people with disabilities who are working, and earning
more than the allowable limits for regular Medicaid,
the opportunity to retain their health care coverage
through Medicaid.
This program allows working people
with disabilities to earn more income without the risk
of losing vital health care coverage by paying a portion
of the premium of their Medicaid.
39 states have implemented
this program, but Florida has not yet set up this
great program. If and when it does, we will post the
news and updates on this page.
