Title: Medical Improvement Eligibility Group and Definition of Work (CMS-2143-P) | |
Abstract: This is a nonmajor proposed rule. In order to provide health services to employed individuals whose medical conditions have improved to the point where they are no longer eligible for disability benefits, this proposed rule would provide a definition of "medically determinable severe impairment" under the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 (Ticket to Work). Under this definition, States can determine eligibility standards for the Medical Improvement Group authorized under the Ticket to Work law, thereby permitting individuals to retain their Medicaid coverage. Additionally, this proposed rule would give States offering Medicaid buy-in programs for employed individuals with disabilities the option of selecting a minimum work standard for participation. | |
