Project Description:

Through a Medicaid Infrastructure grant, the Wyoming Employment Systems Development Project brings together the various state agencies, disability groups and business organizations to determine the most effective means of permitting people with disabilities to retain their health care benefits after obtaining employment. The one-year provisional grant permits WIND and its project partners to pursue changes in the state's present Medicaid system by passing a Medicaid buy-in law, expanding personal assistance services outside the home for Medicaid recipients seeking employment, and integrating the various service systems into a single, one-stop source of delivery with a community focus.
