Yes, your child can work and still receive SSI benefits and Medicaid! Unfortunately, many families think otherwise, thanks to some common myths that can create unnecessary obstacles to your child’s employment goals. This session will explain how these benefits work, where to go for help and support with benefits and career planning, and how employment and long-term career success can, and should, be a part of any graduate’s transition plan who wishes to pursue employment.

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) works to ensure that Americans with disabilities have opportunities to build careers, contribute their talent, and achieve economic mobility. A central part of this mission is providing employers and others with practical, high-quality services and resources that translate policy into practice and help organize supports that lead to success for disabled American workers and employers. This virtual outreach event will highlight the services and resources provided by the Job Accommodation Network and the Employer Assistance and Resource Network on Disability to empower workers with disabilities and help employers and policymakers set high expectations, retain talent, and put productivity enhancing accommodation practices into action in today’s evolving workplace.
