Medicaid for the Employed Disabled
The Medicaid for the Employed Disabled program was authorized by The Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999. Its implementation in Connecticut is mandated under Public Act 00-213 Work Incentives for Persons with Disabilities. The program allows persons with a disability to engage in employment without risking eligibility for needed medical services through the Medicaid program. The program also allows certain individuals to keep other necessary services needed to remain employed. In general an eligible person with a disabling condition who is employed, can qualify for Medicaid without the use of spenddown while earning income in excess of traditional income limits.
More information can be found on the Medicaid for the Employed Disabled Program page.
The Medicaid program provides for remedial, preventive, and long term medical care for income eligible aged, blind or disabled individuals, and families with children. Payment is made directly to health care providers, by the department, for services delivered to eligible individuals. The program complies with federal Medicaid law (Title XIX of the Social Security Act) and regulations in order to receive 50% reimbursement from the federal government.
Individuals may meet Medicaid eligibility requirements in a number of ways. Individuals or families who meet the income and asset eligibility criteria in effect for Aid To Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) on July 16, 1996 or the State Supplement program are eligible for Medicaid. In addition, individuals who meet all the eligibility requirements, with the exception of income, may be eligible if the amount of medical expenses owed is greater than the amount by which their income exceeds the established income standards. Children born after Sept. 30, 1980 whose family income is less than 185% of the poverty level, and pregnant women whose income is less than 185% of the poverty level are also eligible.
The Medicaid program objectives are supported by certain key services provided to recipients: HealthTrack provides education regarding access to health care for Medicaid recipients under 21 eligible for Medicaid. "Home and community-based care" waivers allow for the provision of certain non-medical services in order to avoid more costly institutionalization of individuals. The department is also working with schools to expand the availability and accessibility of school-based medical care for Medicaid eligible students.

What is the HANDS Program?
The Health Access Nurturing Development Services (HANDS) program is a voluntary home visitation program for new and expectant parents. Families begin by meeting with a HANDS Parent Visitor who will discuss any questions or concerns about pregnancy or a baby's first years. Based on the discussion, all families will receive information and learn about resources available in the community for new parents. Some families will receive further support through home visitation. That’s right, information brought right to the home.
Who Can Participate? First-time moms and/or dads residing in Kentucky.
When do HAND Services Begin? Services can begin during pregnancy or anytime before a child is 3 months old. If interested contact the local health department.

Eligibility
An individual may be eligible for Medical Assistance if he or she is a Rhode Island residents 65 years of age or older, blind or disabled. People receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits automatically qualify for Medical Assistance. Seniors and people with disabilities who are receiving Social Security Retirement or Disability Benefits and have income/resources that exceed the SSI limits may still be eligible for Medical Assistance which has a higher income and resource limit. (See "flex test eligibility" for Medical Assistance).
In addition, people with disabilities who are waiting for a decision on eligibility for SSI of Social Security Disability Insurance benefits may be eligible for Medical Assistance.
Flex Test Eligibility
If an individual's income is at or above 100% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), they may still qualify for Medical Assistance if they have medical expenses. This is called "flex test" eligibility. An individual's medical expenses can be subtracted from a person's income over a six-month period. This may reduce their income to fall within Medical Assistance eligibility guidelines and make them eligible. Eligibility is re-determined every six months.
For more information, please contact your local DHS Office.
