Good morning,



Please share this article, shared by Arizona Jenkins, on a tremendous
improvement to allow individuals to retain their medical benefits while
earning more income.  Congratulations to the tireless advocates who have
been fighting these battles for many, many years!





“As the result of the continuous work of self-advocates, it is now easier
for people with disabilities to earn and save more through the Working
People with Disabilities Program. The Florida Legislature passed a bill
strengthening the program this year and Governor DeSantis signed it into
law effective today, July 1, 2026.”
