NEW TRAINING OPPORTUNITY - Using Public Programs to Move People Out of Poverty

Wednesday, September 1, 2010
Many people with disabilities want to work, but fear losing access to critical programs like Social Security or health care under Medicaid and Medicare. This training is designed to dispel myths about working and disability programs.

  • Income from employment impacts continued eligibility for cash assistance from Social Security, health insurance from Medicare and/or Medicaid, and other public health programs;
  • Recognize key Social Security Administration work incentives and how they can be utilized to support individuals with disabilities in employment;
  • Obtain a "conversational knowledge" of the impact of employment on public benefits and how best to communicate these concepts to beneficiaries to support them in employment;
  • Identify and direct programs providing long-term supports such as the Work Incentives Planning and Assistance Program.

Who should attend:  Employment service providers, VR counselors/supervisors, community-based organization benefits eligibility specialists, service coordinators, state agency staff and other professionals who work with people with disabilities.
