Establishes a Medicaid buy-in program for workers with disabilities in Hawaii.
The bill amends Hawaii Revised Statutes to create a Medicaid buy-in program for workers with disabilities. Eligible individuals must have a net countable income greater than 250% of the federal poverty level and be disabled under federal Social Security Act provisions. The Department of Human Services will establish sliding-scale premiums for the program, ranging from $20 to $250 per month, and must adjust these premiums annually. The program will only be implemented if federal financial participation is available.
