Advocates file suit against Florida state agencies for improperly stripping Medicaid from patients whose original eligibility was related to their adoption or disabilities. Florida Auditor General cited failure to review or process more than 650,000 data exchanges and the potential risk of failure to provide benefits to eligible individuals.

Everyone utilizes different techniques and supports to make them successful at work. For people with disabilities, using reasonable accommodations can help do just that. Reasonable accommodations are changes in the environment, or the way things are done, in order to enable someone with a disability to enjoy equal opportunities to work. The person with the disability is the expert on what they need and can come up with solutions with their employer to create an inclusive and accessible workspace. Including people with disabilities in competitive, integrated workplaces opens the door for different perspectives, creative solutions, and great work.

Success Story: Helen Maza

For some people with disabilities, community-based resources are vital to their care. Helen Maza is no exception. Helen Maza, a woman with a variety of neurological, physical and genitourinary disabilities, sought out additional personal support hours. She was denied getting additional services on the basis that she lacked documentation and medical necessity for the services requested. Disability Rights Florida represented Ms. Maza and successfully negotiated a long-term care plan with increased services such as increased hours of personal supports and increased medical supplies for the client. 

Helen and her primary caregiver share their appreciation for Disability Rights Florida in helping her get her independence back.
