Healthcare for Workers with Disabilities (HWD)
State
If you have a disability, this program can provide you with health care benefits. This program allows you to work and still keep your health care coverage. You can take part in this program if you are a paid worker (includes part-time and full-time jobs) and are from 16 to 64 years of age. You must also have a disability and limited income.
About this program
If you have a disability and are working, this program may provide you with health care benefits. In some situations, working and earning money could prevent you from getting public benefit programs such as Medicaid.
This program allows you to work and still keep your health care coverage. However, you may have to pay a fee. The amount you pay may depend on your income (called a sliding scale fee). The premium amount cannot be more than 7.5% of your total income.
How do I apply?
To apply for this program, you can do one of the following:
- Use the online application. On the last page of the online form, you should put “Application for HWD” in the comments section.

- Call and complete an application with the Specialized Medical Team at 1-206-272-2169 or toll-free at 1-800-871-9275.
