These benefits can help supplement a person’s income\, qualify a person for extra help\, and help them receive healthcare and community supports. Navigating the world of disability benefits can be tricky\, time-consuming\, and overwhelming. This workshop will help make that process easier. Join us as we discuss in clear understandable language: what are Social Security benefits\, what are Virginia’s Medicaid Waivers\, who is eligible\, and how to apply. \nPresented by PEATC in partnership with Gloucester Co. Schools \nThis webinar will be presented on Zoom. It will not be recorded.
