What does it indicate if an individual is on the MBI-WPD program?

When an individual is on the MBI-WPD program, it indicates that they are working while receiving medical benefits. The MBI-WPD (Medicare Buy-In – Working Disabled) program is designed to assist individuals with disabilities who are working and want to maintain their Medicare coverage.

This program allows eligible individuals to continue receiving Medicare benefits despite earning income from employment, demonstrating that they can engage in the workforce while managing their disabilities. This is particularly beneficial as it supports individuals in their efforts to achieve financial independence while having access to essential medical care.

Being on this program does not mean that an individual has been denied all benefits, has limited income and assets, or has a disability that qualifies for other services. Instead, it specifically underscores their ability to balance work with the retention of necessary medical support provided by Medicare.
