Social Security and Supplement Security Income can be very intimidating -- but very important for people with developmental disabilities. Not only does it help financially, but it can provide a sense of security for the individual and their family.
To help you through this process, Ontario ARC will host an educational seminar -- "Benefit Basics -- on Oct. 19 at its Main Facility. The seminar will feature speakers from the Western New York Advocacy for the Developmentally Disabled (WNYADD) -- including Roger Nellist, WNYADD's executive director, and Jennifer Blais, WNYADD's benefits specialist. Nellist and Blais will cover topics such as eligibility, how to apply for benefits, and how other resources and employment can affect your benefits. In addition, the night will include a social hour beginning at 6:30 p.m. with the presentation starting 7 p.m. Not only is it educational, but it is a great networking opportunity as well.
