STARTING A NEW JOB?
DON’T LET FEAR OF LOSING YOUR HEALTHCARE COVERAGE HOLD YOU BACK!

One of the biggest concerns for individuals receiving Social Security disability benefits is whether working and earning more money will mean losing their healthcare coverage.

The good news?
You may have more protections than you realize!

Social Security Work Incentives include important provisions that may help eligible beneficiaries maintain their healthcare coverage while working, including:
Extended Medicare Coverage – Certain SSDI beneficiaries may continue receiving Medicare coverage after returning to work.

Medicaid Continuation – Programs such as Section 1619(b) may allow eligible SSI recipients to maintain Medicaid coverage even when earnings increase.

At Interpreting & Application Services, LLC (IAS), we help you understand these valuable protections so you can make informed employment decisions with greater confidence.

Your career goals and healthcare needs deserve a plan that supports both!

Requesting Reasonable Accommodations at Work
A reasonable accommodation refers to any change to the job, application process, or work environment that helps a qualified person with a disability perform essential duties and fully participate at work.

Under the ADA, employers must provide accommodations unless it causes undue hardship.

Here’s a simple, practical way to make a request:
1️⃣ Identify the barrier
2️⃣ Suggest the support that would help
3️⃣ Contact the right person (HR, supervisor, manager)
4️⃣ Explain the connection to your disability or medical condition
5️⃣ Participate in the interactive discussion
6️⃣ Follow up and evaluate the result

Requests can be verbal or written—no need to use legal terms or say “ADA.” Written requests simply help create a record.
Empowerment starts with understanding your rights.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.
And knowing your options can change your future.

When you receive Social Security disability benefits, uncertainty about how work could affect them can hold you back. You deserve clear information to make decisions with confidence.

Understanding the system and Social Security Work Incentives helps you make informed employment decisions and build a strategy for your situation.

Every question you clarify helps you plan. Every informed decision can bring you closer to a life with more income, more security, and less fear.

At IAS, LLC, I help people with disabilities understand their options and create a plan to move toward their employment goals.

Your next step begins with knowledge. Seek benefits advisement before starting a job or increasing your work hours.

¿Cómo comunicas tu discapacidad o limitación a un empleador y qué información debes compartir?
Comienza con claridad: identifica la barrera, explica el apoyo que necesitas y elige a la persona adecuada para conversar.
Generalmente, no tienes que comunicar tu discapacidad solo por solicitar un empleo o comenzar a trabajar. Tampoco tienes que contárselo a tus compañeros.
Comunicarla puede ser útil cuando necesitas:
• Un intérprete o un lugar accesible para una entrevista.
• Instrucciones por escrito u otro ajuste durante la capacitación.
• Cambios que te permitan realizar tus funciones o acceder a beneficios laborales.
• Modificar un ajuste que ya no responde a tus necesidades.
Puedes iniciar la conversación así:
“Tengo una condición médica que afecta cómo proceso las instrucciones verbales. Recibirlas por escrito me ayudaría a completar las tareas correctamente. ¿Podemos conversar sobre este ajuste?”
Enfócate en la limitación relacionada con el trabajo y el apoyo necesario. El empleador puede solicitar documentación pertinente cuando la discapacidad o la necesidad del ajuste no sean evidentes.
Solicita apoyo cuando identifiques una barrera. Los ajustes razonables generalmente atienden necesidades futuras; solicitarlos después no necesariamente elimina problemas anteriores de desempeño o conducta.
Tus habilidades cuentan. Aprender a expresar tus necesidades puede ayudarte a avanzar con confianza.

The guidance reflects U.S. disability disclosure and accommodation principles from JAN and the EEOC.

How do you disclose a disability to an employer—and what should you share?
Start with clarity: understand the barrier, explain the support you need, and choose the appropriate person to speak with.
Generally, you do not have to disclose a disability simply because you are applying for a job or starting work. You also do not have to tell coworkers.
Disclosure may help when you need:
• An interpreter or accessible location for an interview.
• Written instructions or another adjustment during training.
• Changes that help you perform job duties or access workplace benefits.
• An update to an existing accommodation.
Try opening the conversation this way:
“I have a medical condition that affects how I process verbal instructions. Written instructions would help me complete tasks accurately. Could we discuss this adjustment?”
Focus on the work-related limitation and the support needed. An employer may request relevant documentation when the disability or need for accommodation is not obvious.
Request support when you recognize a barrier. Accommodations generally address future needs; a later request does not necessarily erase earlier performance or conduct issues.
Your skills matter. Knowing how to advocate for support can help you move forward with confidence.
