Clarifying information

HWD allows enrollees to earn and save more money and to purchase health care coverage with monthly premium based on a sliding scale.

Some people may be eligible for HWD, who are not eligible for other SSI-related medical programs, due to their having:

Monthly earnings at or above the Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) level after deducting any impairment related or blind work expenses that have caused any Title II benefit to stop; or

Countable income or resources that exceed other program standards including coverage groups that use "institutional" rules to determine eligibility.
