Medicaid Coverage for Workers With Disabilities

The North Dakota Medicaid Program's Workers with Disabilities Coverage allows some individuals with disabilities who want to work, or who are already working and who want to increase their earnings, to do so without fear of losing their Medicaid coverage. Many would not be able to work without needed medical care, and could not afford that care without Medicaid assistance.

Who Qualifies?

An individual must:

• Be a North Dakota resident
• Be 16 to 65 years old
• Have a disability based on Social Security Administration guidelines
• Be employed or become employed
• Meet income guidelines

To Participate, Individuals:

• Pay a one-time $100 enrollment fee, and
