WORK ACTIVITY REPORT
This report is for:
Month Year
You may be considered disabled for Medi-Cal if you cannot do any kind of work for which you are suited, and only if you
cannot work for at least a year or your condition will result in death.
If your gross earnings are more than $_____________ (current SGA amount) per month, you might not be considered
disabled. Work expenses and special work considerations related to your disability may be deducted in figuring whether
your earnings meet the earnings limit. For this reason, information about your work activity is needed.
The information you provide about your work activity will be used in making a decision on your case. Your employer may
be contacted to verify the information you provide.

(We are required to verify the need for the item or service with the person who prescribed it.)
Example: Attendant care services, transportation costs, medical devices, work-related equipment, prosthesis,
modifications to your home, routine drugs and medical services necessary to control a disabling condition, diagnostic
procedures, assistants (e.g., if visually impaired, the cost to hire a reader; if hearing impaired, the cost to hire a sign
language interpreter), or similar items or services.
7. Subsidies—Some employers will support disabled individuals with subsidies. For example, the employer may
subsidize the disabled employee’s earnings by paying more in wages than the reasonable value of the actual work that
was done. (For example, many sheltered work centers subsidize an individual’s earnings.)
