🌟 Friday Fact: Working Does NOT Always Mean Losing Medicaid 💼
Did you know… you can work and still keep your healthcare coverage?
If you receive SSI, there are built-in supports designed to help you work while protecting your benefits:
Getting started can include:
🔹 1619(a): Keep receiving an SSI check and Medicaid while your earnings gradually increase
🔹 1619(b): Continue Medicaid even if your SSI payment goes to $0, as long as you meet eligibility requirements
🔹 MAWD (PA): Work, earn more, and keep Medical Assistance by paying a small monthly premium
Why It Matters:
✔ Reduces fear of losing healthcare when starting work
✔ Supports financial growth and independence
✔ Encourages employment without sacrificing essential coverage
🎯 Big takeaway: With the right programs and guidance, you can work toward your goals without losing the healthcare you rely on.
