TICKET TO WORK & WORKFORCE INCENTIVES IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 1999 (TWWIIA)

The Ticket to Work & Workforce Incentives Improvement Act (TWWIIA) was designed to: increase individual choice in obtaining vocational and employment services; provide increased health care coverage for workers with a disability; and eliminate some of the disincentives to work. The law also created the Medicaid Buy-In program which enables certain individuals to receive Medicaid coverage by paying a premium.

Since its enactment, HDA has worked extensively with TWWIIA and the issues surrounding the legislation. Through this work, we have developed numerous materials for both advocates and consumers. To see the complete list of HDA’s TWWIIA materials click here.
