| What Services Do We Provide? |
|
Work Incentive Planning Analysis – we meet
in person with beneficiaries to explain what impact work
earnings have on each benefit received. |
|
Explain what work incentives are available - including
learning how to keep Medi-Cal, and/or Medicare benefits
for an extended period while working. Other incentives
include IRWE’s (Impairment Related Work Expenses), Subsidy
(Job Coaching, etc.), and many more. |
|
Explain the Ticket to Work Program - including what
Employment Networks are available and the benefits of
this program. |
|
PASS (Plan for Achieving Self Support) - A plan that
lets you use your income or other things you own to help
you reach your work goals. For example, you could set
aside money to go to school to get specialized training
for a job or to start a business. In order for a PASS
to be approved, you must have two forms of income and
the job that you want should allow you to earn enough
to reduce or eliminate your need for benefits. A plan
is meant to help you get items, services, or skills you
need to reach your goals. |
|
Community Resource Referrals – A beneficiary's stability
may depend upon more than just health insurance and cash
benefits, so we can refer to housing or mental health
programs, One-Stop Centers, Regional Center of Orange
County, Department of Rehabilitation, and other resources
upon which many beneficiaries rely. |
