Disability Resource: Disability Benefits 101

For the last 4 years, I’ve been providing Social Security work incentives training to agencies statewide and to clients in the Los Angeles area.  If you live in the State of California (and even if you don’t!), I wanted to share a resource that I make a point of sharing EVERY place I go.

The website: www.db101.org is all about working with disability in California.  One of the key features (or my favorite part) of this site is its Benefits Calculator.  There are actually 5 separate calculators:  Benefits to Work, Job to Job, School to Work, Medi-Cal for the Working Disabled, and PASS Fund Your Career.  If you or someone you’re working with is receiving Social Security benefits, I encourage you to take a look at this site.  All of the sections of the site are written in an easy to understand format.  There are even sections of the site translated in to Spanish.  Take a look!  I know you’ll be glad you did.
