Great move!!!
A massive win for Virginia families! Yesterday, signed HB 37 into law, a bill introduced by . This bill permanently protects your ability to access Medicaid Developmental Disability (DD) Waivers even if you receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).
Previously, a person with DD risked being kicked off their DD Medicaid waiver if they received SSDI benefits (often through a parent’s retirement or death) because it counted heavily against their income cap.
This new law ensures Virginia will permanently disregard extra SSDI income above the standard limit when calculating waiver eligibility.
