Employment and Benefits Related to Services focuses primarily on
work incentive programs and the employment rights of persons with disabilities as provided under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Primary attention is given to workshop presentations and individual consumer meetings for those evaluating a return to the workforce in order that these individuals may better understand both the financial and health impact such a decision may have upon an individual and his/her benefits. Additional services include information about applying for disability and other benefits. ILRCSF also maintains an employment bulletin board with updated job postings, fairs and training opportunities.

Every Thursday at 9:30 am, we will hold a “drop-in” Basic Benefits/Work Incentives Workshop. Information about applying for Social Security, Medi-Cal or other benefits, as well as work incentive issues including the PASS program, and how Social Security benefits and healthcare are affected by returning to work are covered.

    •  Basic Benefits - provides overview of several work incentive        programs, as well as information about benefit programs (upon        request)

   •   Returning to Work for People Receiving SSI only - provides        greater detail about work incentives/rules for people receiving SSI as        their only benefit (includes the impact of work on medical and cash        benefits)

   •  Returning to Work for People Receiving SSDI or a combination       of SSDI & SSI - provides greater detail about work incentives/rules       for people receiving SSDI benefits (includes the impact of work on       medical and cash benefits)
