NPN SSI Parents Saturday Workshop with correct e-brochure address

[Guest guest]

The National PASS Network announces its next

Parents Saturday Workshop on accessing Social

Security disability, Supplemental Security

Income and Medicaid benefits on Saturday, March

13 in Austin, Texas at The Arc of Texas

headquarters. The workshop ÒAccessing Social

Security Disability Benefits to Provide

Opportunities for Self-Support for People with

DisabilitiesÓ is a must for families who need

to plan and learn how to access these important

federal support programs for their children of

any age.

The National PASS Network has been providing

benefit access training and outreach to

families with children with lifelong

disabilities for more than 27 years. The Parent

Saturday Workshop provides families with a

comprehensive consumer background on how the

federal disability benefit programs work and

how to access them; what the eligibility

requirements are for the disability programs

are; how to calculate eligibility ; and how to

make sure that you receive the full amount of

your eligibility.

Participants will learn how to use programs

like the Plans for Achieving Self- Support

(PASS) as your child begins transition

employment in high school to preserve benefits

and pay for services. The comprehensive

workshop is also appropriate for parents as

they do future planning to preserve SSI,

Medicaid eligibility benefits as their child

grows older. For a more detailed explanation

of the workshop and what other parents say

With the national economy crashing down all

around us, parents of children with lifelong

disabilities desperately need cash resources

and medical supports they can control and count

on. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and

Medicaid are more important than ever to

families and people with disabilities struggle

with federal and state budget cutbacks and the

real need for cash assistance and medical

supports. These supports provide many positive

opportunities for children and young adults

with disabilities, but these opportunities are

available only if parents know how to access

the programs. If you donÕt know about them,

the benefit programs canÕt help your child.

The parents workshop is presented by longtime

national disability benefit advocate

Scarborough. His easy-to-understand,

non-technical and graphic rich presentation

style emphasizes a person-first, consumer

empowerment approach to understanding and

accessing the complicated Social Security

disability benefit and long-term care programs

for adults and children. Mr. Scarborough is

known nationally for his decades of dedicated

work with children with severe disabilities and

adults with lifelong disabilities and their

access to Social Security disability benefits

and health supports from Medicare and Medicaid

to live in their community with their family

and friends.
