保護你的醫療補助制度的權利 Protect your Medicaid rights - Ask for a fair hearing
This document explains your rights if you have problems with Medicaid, including: (1) the right to receive a written notice when the state plans to cut off your Medicaid, deny you services, or take any other action that is unfavorable to you, (2) the right to 10 days notice before the state cuts off your Medicaid (in almost all cases), and (3) the right to a fair hearing if you disagree with a decision the state makes, you have the right to a fair hearing. A fair hearing is a chance to get state officials to change their decision about your case.

當您從自己的生意中退休時This link opens a PDF file in a new window.  If you do not have an accessible Acrobat Reader, a link is provided at the bottom of this page. (Separate Website)
如果您擁有並經營一項生意而且準備退 休,社會安全局將要知道您是否完全退休 或者準備繼續從事生意。 為了得到您可以領取全部的退休福利, 您必須完全退休,或工作的收入不超過規 定限額。二零零二年,六十五歲以下的人 士的工作收入限額是$11,280;在同年達到 六十五歲的人士的工作收入限額是 $30,000。如果您的收入減少,您涉及生意 的管理與工作也必須相對減少。 根據工作的收入非常容易判斷一個僱 員是否“退休”。但是,當您在自己或家 人擁有並經營的生意中作事,或者是公司 的法人之一,便不是那樣簡單,因為很有 可能您的職務可以控制自己的收入。在這 種情況下,當您申請退休福利時,您需要 提供較多的資料,例如:報稅單或公司記 錄。這樣才能幫助我們決定您是否在減少 收入的同時也相對減少您涉及生意的工作 與服務。換句話說,您付出的精力,勞力 和時間要與您的所得一致,不可以祇是把 工資減少在社會安全局所訂的限額之內。 這份資料簡訊給您提供社會安全局對 退休的定義,並介紹所需要的證明文件用 以協助我們作出決定。
