Medical assistance modified for employed persons with disabilities program.

HF 666 modifies Minnesota's medical assistance program for employed people with disabilities. It allows individuals who earn above $65 per month (after a $65 earned income disregard) to keep coverage, including a four-month extension if they temporarily lose a job or have a medical condition requiring time off. Enrollees must pay a minimum $35 premium or a sliding-scale fee based on income (1%-7.5% of earnings), with American Indians exempt from premiums. The bill affects Minnesotans with disabilities who work and might otherwise lose health coverage due to earnings changes or job loss.
