    Parent Focus: Four Ways Benefits Support Work

    The Basics

    Your child can work, even if he or she has a disability and gets benefits from the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). In fact, AHCCCS and SSI are designed so that people who work end up better off.

    With a job, your child can:

    1. Keep AHCCCS health coverage even while making as much as $76,320 per year
    2. Have more total income and keep getting SSI
    3. Save up some money and keep getting SSI
    4. Get back on SSI if it stops and is needed later

    You can help your son or daughter plan for work. Get started by understanding these four ways benefits programs and a job can work together.
