Involuntary Loss of
Employment for
MED Works:
If you are eligible
for
MED Works,
you must be engaged
in a substantial and
reasonable work
effort. In the
unfortunate event
that you
involuntarily lose
employment, you may
continue to be
eligible for MED
Works if:
-
You are on a
temporary
medical leave,
-
You request a
continuance
within 60 days
of termination
of employment,
-
You maintain
connection to
the workforce
(such as
participating in
a vocational
rehabilitation
program,
registering
with workforce
development,
participating in
transition from
school to work,
or
participating
with an approved
employment
services
provider),
-
You pay
premiums
(if required),
and
-
You continue to
meet eligibility
requirements for
MED Works.
If you are no longer
eligible for MED
Works, your
Division of Family
Resources (DFR)
case worker will
review your
information to see
if you are eligible
for
Medicaid
under other Medicaid
categories.
MED Works
Supports Employment:
The
Office of Medicaid
Policy and Planning
oversees the MED
Works program as
well as Indiana's
Medicaid
Infrastructure
Grant. MED
Works and the
infrastructure grant
work closely
together because the
grant supports
several activities
to improve
employment outcomes
for individuals with
disabilities.
The Medicaid
Infrastructure Grant
partners with
Indiana's Office of
Vocational
Rehabilitation and
other entities to
support employment
outcomes.

the Indiana Code and
final rules for
MED Works can be
