State Policy/Initiative

West Virginia M-WIN (Medicaid Work Incentive Network)

“M-WIN is a work incentive for people with disabilities or chronic health conditions:

  • It allows individuals who work, to pay a monthly premium and keep or obtain Medicaid healthcare coverage.
  • M-WIN eliminates a major barrier to employment (losing current healthcare benefits when an individual with a disability returns to work).
  • It also creates an incentive for individuals with disabilities to obtain employment and earn health care coverage.
  • M-WIN members can earn more money and save more money than Medicaid normally allows.  Hundreds of West Virginians with disabilities are benefiting from MWIN.”
