What is the Healthcare for Workers with Disabilities (HWD) program?
The Healthcare for Workers with Disabilities (HWD) program recognizes the employment potential of people with disabilities, and represents Washington State’s response to the landmark “Ticket to Work” legislation passed by Congress in 1999. In order to enroll in the HWD program, an individual must be working and pay a monthly premium that is based on his/her income. See Monthly Premium for additional information.
