ND Medicaid 1619(b) Threshold for 2011

State 1619(b) Medicaid threshold amounts for calendar year 2011 have been published.

The North Dakota Threshold for 2011 is $38,049.

Section 1619(b) of the Social Security Act provides one of the most powerful work incentives currently available for SSI recipients: continued Medicaid eligibility for working individuals whose earned income is too high to qualify for SSI cash payments, but not high enough to offset the loss of Medicaid. The Social Security Administration uses a threshold amount to measure whether an individual’s earnings are high enough to replace his/her Medicaid benefits.
