HBWD 30 Second Public Service Announcement

One point four million people in Illinois really want to work, but can’t.

If they get jobs, they could lose their Medicaid health coverage.

And private insurance is difficult to obtain. This is the reality for people with disabilities.

The Health Benefits for Workers with Disabilities Program can help.

HBWD is a state program that provides health insurance for working individuals with a disability.

Don’t let your disability keep you from working.
