At the end of the class, participants will be able to:

  • Identify and explain who is eligible for benefits
  • Explain the disability benefits application process from beginning to end
  • Assist people with completing the application process

Certificates of completion will be emailed to all attendees who complete the evaluation survey within one week. ASL interpretation is available upon request.
