Introduced Text

Ohio HB581 amends the Medicaid buy-in for workers with disabilities program to disregard certain income for eligibility.

Ohio HB581 modifies the Ohio WorkAbility Program by changing how income is calculated for Medicaid eligibility. It disregards up to $20,000 of an individual's earned and unearned income. Additionally, any amount an employer pays for family health insurance is not considered the individual's income. These changes aim to make more workers with disabilities eligible for Medicaid.
