Employed Persons with Disabilities (EPD)

The Employed Persons with Disabilities (EPD) program provides or continues medical coverage and long-term services to people with disabilities who are working or want to work. The EPD program may be right if:

  • You have a physical, cognitive, mental health, or developmental disability or are legally blind

  • You are employed receiving a taxable wage or are self-employed

  • You have countable resources of $5,000 or less

  • You have earned income of no more than 250 percent of the federal poverty level for a family of one after allowed deductions

For countable resources, the home in which you or your spouse live, a car, and a burial plot and limited burial plan do not count. The benefits of the EPD program are:

  • It may be used to supplement other types of medical coverage, such as private health insurance and Medicare

  • It includes coverage for long-term services which are not usually included in major medical insurance plans

  • It covers pre-existing conditions

  • The fee is based on income and is low, ranging from $0 to $150 per month
