Health Care and Benefits Training on Work and Disability

Return to Events page

Training Goal

Cross agency training participants achieve an awareness level knowledge that youth and adults with disabilities can access and retain needed benefits when working.

Topics

How and when does paid work affect health care and benefits? We review public and private health and income support programs, including the Medi-Cal 250% Working Disabled Program, In-Home Supportive Services, as these programs work with available employment and vocational services. Training includes updates on new rules.

Plus ! Case Studies with Benefits Planning Calculators!
