Healthcare for Workers with Disabilities
The Healthcare for Workers with Disabilities (HWD) program for Washington State residents recognizes the employment potential of people with disabilities, and represents Washington State's response to the "Ticket to Work" legislation passed by Congress in 1999. Under HWD, people with disabilities can earn more money and purchase healthcare coverage for an amount based on a sliding income scale. HWD benefits include: Medicaid benefit package; greater personal and financial independence; members earn and save more without the risk of losing their healthcare coverage.
