Financial and income needs are such a huge part of peoples' lives. Without knowing how to handle money, how to get money, and how to use that money that is earned, we can't live comfortable and be active in our community. So many people that have disabilities need special medication, devices, and services so it is important that they as well as their guardian know about what services are out there to assist in their financial and income needs. The following resources are beneficial for this topic.
Resource #1:

This is an article that talks about saving for the disabled. This is a great article for parents and guardians of the disabled. It talks about the help given and the different things that they will go through in life that will need some extra funding. I think it is an interesting article to read to get a feel of what could be done and what the future may hold.
Resource # 2:

This is the Medicaid website. This site is especially helpful for anyone that is looking to receive services because of their condition. This site offers information on coverage, drugs, programs and services. All of this information is beneficial so you and or your child get what is deserved.

This is a website that offers all the information needed for SSI (Supplemental Security Income). It is important that people realize what they can qualify and act on it.

Christy,
ReplyDeleteThank you for these great resources, they are packed full of vital information for any individual with a disability can benefit from. You are right on, there are so many extra concerns financially when it comes to medical expenses. Unfortunately, these individuals are also the ones who suffer with understanding and possibly remembering the hows and why of income and expenses.
I also liked your Supplemental Security Income page, knowledge is at the forefront to this up-hill battle.
Thanks! :) Amanda Ganyo
