Disabilities and Work
Conference 2000!

The United States Congress has passed the Work Incentives Improvement Act (WIIA) in November.

This means that people with disabilities who want to work will not lose vital medical benefits because of an increase in income. Americans with disabilities can enter the workforce without losing their health coverage under Medicaid or Medicare. Disabled people working jobs that include health benefits will be able to buy Medicaid coverage for expenses that their regular insurance does not cover.

For more information, contact your local Independent Living Center or state rehabilitation agency, or call 1-888-751-0077
