Medicaid Program - Qualified Disabled and Working Individual Eligibility - Oklahoma

Individuals who are aged, blind, or disabled are eligible for services as a Qualified Disabled and Working Individual (QDWI) if they meet the following conditions of eligibility:

·      Social Security disability benefits have been terminated solely because of excess earnings

·      Countable income and resources do not exceed 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. See Oklahoma DHS Appendix C-1, Schedule V for these income and resource limits.

·      Medicaid eligibility cannot be established under QMB or categorically needy programs

·      The individual is enrolled in Medicare Part A

·      The individual meets non-financial eligibility requirements

Countable income and resources are determined using the same rules followed in determining eligibility for individuals categorically related to aid to the aged, blind, or disabled, except that the $20 general income disregard is applied to either earned or unearned income, but not both.

Coverage for a QDWI is restricted to payment of the Medicare Part A premiums.
