The LIFE Center Offers Networking Event Regarding SSI and SSDI Programs
On October 21st, The LIFE Center For Independent Living, opened their doors to local services partners and the disabled community to discuss and learn more about Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) as part of this month's National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) celebration. Information was provided regarding many Social Security Administration (SSA) Work Incentives programs such as, the Ticket to Work program and the the Work Incentives Planning and Assistance (WIPA) program. Through the sharing of information, between service organizations, we can create a combined effort to assist more individuals. Below are a few images from our meeting.
This was our greeting table with our Ticket to work Banner displayed.
LIFE, Inc. also provided a variety of additional resources for the attendees.
Theresa Scherer, Employment Network Director, makes introductions and provides an outline of the presentation.

Everyone was provided with an example of a New Job Survival Kit to help a person who is looking for their first job.
