TX program designed for thousands with disabilities, serves few
July 10th, 2009From the Austin [TX] American-Statesman:
Four years after lawmakers approved a program designed to help thousands of Texans with disabilities, the program serves only 69 people across the state, according to state officials.
The program allows adults with disabilities to work and still be eligible for Medicaid, the federal-state health insurance program.
Officials say a major obstacle is the public perception that people with disabilities will lose their benefits if they go to work.
