Benefits Planning for people with disabilities is a service that:
- Helps you understand how employment and other life decisions may impact your benefits.
- Relieves fears you may have about a change in benefits or services if you start working.
- Helps you make informed decisions on health insurance and other benefits (like Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, and food, housing, and financial assistance).
- Provides a clear plan on how you can work to increase your income and quality of life.
