Subject: [Transition-Council] SSI Benefits Seminar on August 22

SSI Benefits Seminar at the Lions Center for the Blind If you are blind or
visually impaired, it is possible for you to work and continue receiving
your disability benefits. 
Please join the Lions Center for the Blind and representatives from the
Social Security Administration for a benefits seminar as we address
questions such as: 
... How does SSI and SSDI work? 
... What is a Trial Work Period, SGA or Extended Period of Eligibility? 
... Can you keep you health Insurance benefit while you are working? 
... How are your SSI/SSDI benefits affected if you're employed? 
... and many more. 
Topics to be covered include Social Security's "Ticket to Work" and other
work incentive programs such as Impairment-Related Work Expenses (IRWE),
Blind Work Expenses (BWE), Plan for Achieving Self Support
(PASS) and Property Essential to Self Support (PESS), as well as eligibility
factors for entitlement, and the application and appeals process. 
Even if you don't meet the criteria for legal blindness, you may still
qualify for benefits if you have a visual impairment that prevents you from
working. 
This seminar may provide you information to help you succeed on the job.
