Creates a buy-in option for working individuals with disabilities
to participate in the Medicaid program if they obtain employment
that increases their incomes above eligibility limits. Participants
in the program may be required to pay a portion of the costs for
participation. The purpose of the program is to support employment
for individuals with disabilities by providing medicaid coverage
to individuals who would otherwise be ineligible for medicaid due
to earnings that exceed the medicaid program's income limits.
