What is the difference between Supplemental Security Income (SSI) 1619(b) provisions and 250% California Working Disabled (250% CWD) Medi-Cal?
Although both programs provide full scope Medi-Cal, there are several differences between SSI 1619 (b) provisions and 250% CWD Medi-Cal. SSI 1619(b) provisions allow you to keep Medi-Cal at no cost, but limits your income to the state’s threshold amount and has special rules for retirement funds, which sometimes are exceptions and require approval from Social Security. 250% CWD Medi-Cal, on the other hand, requires that you pay a monthly premium based on your total countable income and does not have any limitations on retirement funds. In order to qualify for SSI, Social Security has determined that you are unable to work for at least twelve months. 250% CWD does not have this rule and thus allows you to work with a disability.
