The purpose of this GIS message is three-fold. First, it clarifies the procedure to be used when an applicant/recipient (A/R) is eligible for Medicaid without a spenddown and also eligible for the Medicaid Buy-In program for Working People with Disabilities (MBI-WPD). Second, it addresses consideration of earned income, Substantial Gainful Activity and Trial Work Period in the disability process for the Aid to Disabled and MBI-WPD programs. Third, it provides a current list of acceptable proofs of disability for the MBI-WPD program, including those when an A/R is in the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) Extended Period of Eligibility (EPE) or is transitioning from the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) 1619(b) program to the MBI-WPD program.
