Healthcare for Workers with Disabilities (HWD) allows people with disabilities who are working to purchase medical coverage by paying a monthly premium that is based on their income.
There is no resource test for HWD.
Your monthly premium is based on a sliding scale. It cannot be more than 7.5% of your total monthly income –and may be less. If you have been afraid to pursue your career goals because doing so might disqualify you from needed healthcare, this program may be perfect for you.
For more information call toll-free 1-800-871-9275, or in Seattle call 1-206-272-2169.
If you are applying for other programs in addition to HWD, such as Food Assistance or Cash, please apply at your local office or apply online through Washington Connection.
