Here's how disabled working adults can earn MORE income, and still KEEP their Medicaid coverage!

If you’re a disabled working adult, or you're the parent or caretaker, there is often a fear that the disabled worker will at some point start earning too much money, and will then be disqualified from being able to get Medicaid medical insurance, or will be dropped from existing Medicaid coverage. It's critical that you learn about the Adult Buy-in Program that allows disabled adult workers to earn more money AND keep their medical coverage!

This program lets adults with a disability qualify to ‘buy-in’ to Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid Program). It is called the Colorado Buy-In Program for Working Adults with Disabilities (WAWD) program. Disabled working adults who earn too much to qualify for Health First Colorado Medicaid may qualify for this buy-in program. A qualified applicant will pay a small monthly premium that's based on the worker's gross monthly earned and unearned income after any applicable exclusions. However, the cost of the premium is very small when compared to the cost of private health insurance! If you know a working disabled adult, PLEASE forward this newsletter!

Our program, Roadmap for the Waiver Journey, offers Basic and VIP membership levels that provide all the knowledge and skills needed to successfully apply for, or better utilize, the life-transforming benefits of a Colorado Medicaid waiver.

VIP members get extra perks! One of them is our in-person events, which are a great opportunity to make new friends with other parents and disabled children, and enjoy free food, including one free adult beverage per adult!
