Free Professional Training on Health Care Benefits:Work and Disability

 
Training Goal
Through networking opportunities, resource sharing, and benefits calculators, training participants learn techniques to guide youth and adults with disabilities through health care and benefits issues after paid work begins.

Learn from Case Studies using DB101 Benefits Planning Calculators how paid work affects health care and benefits such as SSI. We train using Benefits Calculators available now on www.db101.org.

We will review public and private health and income support programs, including Medi-Cal's California Working Disabled Program and In-Home Supportive Services, and how these programs work with employment and vocational services. The training offers updates on new rules including the 2008 relaunch of the New Social Security Ticket to Work Program.

Local Residents with a disability will share their employment story with training participants if available.

Bring Your Service Organization's Brochures and Outreach Materials for the Training Resource Tables.
