Oregon has a similar program.. I think Colorado has one, too.

Hi Debra and all,
Per Medicaid—if you manage to find work that pays you more than a couple
hundred dollars a month,check to see if your state has a “Working While On
Medicaid” program. I *think* most states have someform of “Buy-in” program.
For instance in California, Medicaid is called Medi-Cal, and the program is
calledthe Medi-Cal 250% Working Disabled Program. You must be disabled, not
exceed the cash and property limits,however you can make up to $56K a year and
still keep Medi-Cal if you work. There is a monthly payment scaleyou buy the
Medicaid, it starts at $20.00 a month if you are making *around* $1600 or less,
and the more you makethe more your monthly payment is. Best of luck on finding
income.
I do know that blogging has become popular, and if you find your voice—one that
others are interested in—you may beable to earn some money blogging for a
company’s website. If you look up various companies in the SCI world you
willsee they have a blog—for instance Easy Stand has a blog, and if you look
the other companies, quite a few have blogsto inform and attract potential
clients.

I'm trying to think of ways I could earn a small amount of income. I'm hoping
you might be able to make suggestions. I have a journalism background in
college and edited our college newspaper. I do enjoy writing.I can only earn a
couple hundred dollars a month and still keep my Medicaid insurancei but even
that was better than nothing.
Any ideas you could throw at me I would appreciate. I don't seem to be very
creative in this department.Debra Scruggs-Scruggs phalanx-dragon slayers
