“How It Works M.E.D. Works is a work incentive program for individuals who receive more income than the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) federal benefit rate. This includes Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries as well as individuals on SSI whose earnings exceed the Indiana threshold for 1619(b) protection or those whose SSI payments have been terminated after a 12-month suspension period. * M.E.D. Works allows these individuals to keep their Medicaid coverage and continue to work.”
