What does HWD offer me, if I receive free Medicaid under the Supplemental Security Income (SSI)?
You may be interested in purchasing Medicaid through the HWD program, since it allows you to earn income above the SSI 1619(b) threshold and does not have an asset test. In Washington State the 1619(b) threshold amount for 2011 is $28,160 annual income (gross income minus IRWE). You may not enroll in HWD, however, if you are eligible for Medicaid under the SSI program.
