EMPLOYED INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES PROGRAM (EID)
What is EID?
The Employed Individuals with Disabilities program extends Medical Assistance health benefits to working Marylanders with Disabilities. This program lets you return to work and keep your health benefits by paying a small fee.
Can I Be In This Program?
You should apply for this program if you meet the following criteria:
- Have had a Social Security determined disability (SSI or SSDI); If you have not been approved for SSI or SSDI but have a significant disability, you might still qualify;
- Are 18-64 years of age;
- Are employed or self-employed;
- Have “countable” income under $32,490 for an individual or under $43,710 for a couple. Not all income counts – for instance, less than half of earnings are counted.
