Abstract:

This brief explores the paths of people with disabilities who leave the Medicaid Buy-In program, finding that their earnings and employment rates decline after disenrollment. The program helps adults with disabilities work while still retaining Medicaid coverage. At the end of 2008, 37 states reported covering 92,446 people in the program.
