Plain-English Summary

This bill would allow working people with disabilities to keep their Medicaid health coverage even if their earnings increase, rather than losing benefits once they earn too much money. Currently, many disabled workers face a "benefits cliff" where earning slightly more income causes them to lose Medicaid entirely, which discourages them from working; this legislation aims to remove that barrier by letting them buy into the program at a reasonable cost. The change would primarily affect disabled individuals and their employers by making it easier for people with disabilities to maintain employment without fear of losing their health insurance.
