To qualify for federal disability benefits in Wyoming, you must have a medical condition that stops you from working for at least 12 months. For Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), you need a work history and enough Social Security credits. For Supplemental Security Income (SSI), your income and assets must be below set limits. Both programs use the Social Security Administration's definition of disability, which includes Spina Bifida if it severely limits your ability to work[1][7].
Wyoming does not have its own state disability program, so residents rely on federal SSI and SSDI benefits. Wyoming Medicaid is available for people with disabilities who meet income and asset rules. The Employed Individuals with Disabilities (EID) program lets some working people with disabilities keep Medicaid by paying a monthly premium, as long as they meet Social Security disability guidelines and income limits[2].
