Employed Individuals with Disabilities (EID) Program<br>
<br>
About to Get Better!<br>
<br>
The Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has announced regulation
changes<br>
set to take effect April 1, 2013 that will make the Employed Individuals with
Disabilities<br>
(EID) Program more customer-friendly. EID is a work incentive that qualifies
working<br>
Marylanders with disabilities for Medicaid (Medical Assistance) benefits.
Medicaid<br>
provides comprehensive health coverage for people who have no other insurance;
it<br>
supplements private insurance; and it eliminates out-of-pocket costs for people
<br>
who also have Medicare, saving them thousands of dollars a year. The program
charges<br>
monthly premiums on a sliding scale ranging from $0 - $55.<br>
<br>
Basic eligibility for EID will not change. To qualify, a person must:<br>
<br>
<br>
* Have a disability that meets Social Security's medical definition of
disability<br>
(including someone who receives Social Security Disability benefits, who has
lost<br>
Social Security Disability benefits due to work, who has lost SSI benefits
because<br>
of too much income or resources, or who has never qualified for benefits due to
<br>
earnings).<br>
* Be a <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">U. S.</st1:place></st1:country-region>
citizen or "qualified alien."<br>
* Be 18 - 64 years old.<br>
* Be working for pay.<br>
* Meet the income limit (as high as $69,972/year for an individual and
$94,092/year<br>
for a married couple).<br>
* Meet the resource limit ($10,000 for an individual and $15,000 for a married
couple).<br>
Resources include cash, bank accounts, investments, etc.; they do not include
certain<br>
retirement accounts, motor vehicles and the person's primary residence.<br>
<br>
The regulation changes will improve the EID Program in three ways:<br>
<br>
<br>
1. A person who is enrolled in EID can keep Medicaid for up to 6 months if she
or<br>
he loses employment or is out of work for medical reasons. The individual needs
<br>
to continue to pay monthly premiums to remain enrolled (though in some cases,
the<br>
premium may be lower because his or her income is reduced due to loss of
wages).<br>
The new rule is a major boon to people who become unemployed, sick or injured
after<br>
enrolling in EID, giving them up to 6 months to find other work or recover
their<br>
health without losing essential medical insurance. The old rule (in effect
until<br>
April 1, when the new rule begins) required enrollees to remain continuously
employed<br>
to keep Medicaid.<br>
2. Monthly premiums will be waived for up to the first 6 months a person is
enrolled,<br>
from the month of application until the month before the application is
approved.<br>
As long as the person does not cause undue delays in application processing
(such<br>
as by failing to send required documents to determine eligibility), she or he
does<br>
not need to pay premiums until the month the application is approved. His or
her<br>
Medicaid will still be retroactive to the application month, however. Under the<br>
old rule (which ends April 1), a new enrollee needed to pay monthly premiums
retroactive<br>
to the application month. This often posed a hardship, as it required new
enrollees<br>
to pay for multiple months of premiums all at once.<br>
3. The resource (asset) limit for married couples will increase to $15,000
(from<br>
$10,000). The resource limit for an unmarried individual will remain $10,000.<br>
<br>
"The EID Program offers powerful support for work for Marylanders with
disabilities,"<br>
commented Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Secretary Dr. Joshua M.
Sharfstein.<br>
"The program helps people with disabilities to keep Medicaid and all the
essential<br>
services it provides."<br>
<br>
Maryland Department of Disabilities Secretary Catherine A. Raggio added,
"EID already<br>
helps over 700 Marylanders remain in the workforce. I applaud DHMH for these
improvements<br>
to the program, which will help even more people with disabilities to get and
keep<br>
employment."<br>
