MediCAID is a state program and their income limitations have nothing to do with anything at the federal level. I would double check with the social health services office in your state as Social security does NOT have anything to do (financially) with medicaid and the income limitations.

I have MEDICARE and I made more than the allowable gross income. You can deduct your out of pocket medical expenses from your gross earnings which will reduce the level of income you bring in.
You need to contact your ss office and speak with someone who is a disability specialist there who can work through it with you.
I made more than 1200 a month while on disability and continued to receive benefits even though I was making more than the allowable amount. And i was also way past the 29 month timeframe.

That is true, if you have any out of pocket medical expenses it will reduce what is counted as gross. Although, someone who is on both medicaid and meidcare should NOT have any out of pocket expenses, so that point might be mute right here....
29 month time frame? I'm lost on this one LOL

As far as I have EVER experienced with SSA, the amount of hours has NOTHING to do with your SSDI benefits. It is wholly 100% based on your $$$ earnings from work: http://ssa-custhelp.ssa.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/317/kw/full%20time%20work%20while%20disabled

I thought that when you had first started receiving SSDI benefits, that you had 29 months or something in which the gross income ceiling was waived and you could earn as much as you wanted without having your benefits taken away. Then after the 'trial period', you had to make less than the threshold.

I haven't read all of the posts I just wanted to say it may be best to speak to not only Beth Sufian but to talk to someone within your local Social Security office. I wanted to try working before my transplant and I went through them I want to say that the amount I had to stay below a month was around $750, that was also the same when I started working after my transplant a few years ago.
Either way just be very careful. I am currently in process of paying back to social security what they overpaid me when I started working after my transplant, they didn't process my stuff properly so they didn't realize until 1.5 yr after I started working that I was no longer eligible for benefits, despite my asking them to stop.
As for Medicare. I am no longer receiving monetary benefits, but remain eligible for Medicare for 5yrs after the last day I am eligible for monetary benefits. As long as you are receiving monetary benefits it shouldn't matter what you are making from a Medicare point of view, at least not the way it has been described to me. The only problem you run into if you end up making to much money is the state or govt saying they will no longer pay your medicare premiums, which does happen.
As for the months you can work without worry of what you make that is actually 10 months, at least here in Florida, and it is through the ticket to work program. It doesn't have to be consecutive either, so if you work 3 months and get over the max allowed and have to quit when you start working again you start on your fourth month. In the same idea, however, if you are working under a ticket to work and never make over the "cap" then it never starts ticking off months.
There are also ways in which you can work the system and get yourself to be allowed to earn more money, based on expenses and having to drive yourself versus public transportation and so on. You should really talk to Beth if you want to know all the details, she would probably look out for YOUR best interest the most.
Good luck
