Program Descriptions

Medical Assistance for Employed People with Disabilities (EPD)

The Employed Persons with Disabilities (EPD) program is a Medicaid program that provides medical coverage and long-term care services to people with disabilities who are employed. Eligible participants are charged a nominal fee, called a Participant Fee, based on their income. A person may be eligible for the EPD program if 1) they have a physical, cognitive, mental health or developmental disability or are legally blind; 2) are employed receiving taxable wages or are self-employed; 3) have countable resources of $5000 or less; and 4) have earned income of no more than 250 percent of the federal poverty level for a family of one, after DHS-allowed deductions.

To apply for EPD, call your local Seniors and People with Disabilities (formerly Senior and Disabled Services Division) office in your area, or call (1-800) 282-8096 (voice and TTY).
