[Nfbmd] information requested

[Reyazuddin, Yasmin]

Greetings fellow federationists: 

            I am gathering some information which will benefit many of
us who are struggling in these tough economic times. I would like to
know if any of you have applied or get benefits from our local social
services offices. If your answer is YES, then read on. 

Do you receive important statements or notices regarding your benefits.
If YES, are these notices in Large print or Braille. 

The state collects data if the client has a disability, whether the
person is visually impaired or blind. The notices should be send to  you
in large print or Braille. 

 

These benefits include Income Support Services (Temporary Cash
Assistance, Food Stamps, Medical Assistance, Temporary Disability
Assistance Program

and Child Care Subsidy Programs), Public Health Services (MCHP,
Prenatal, Care for Kids, and Dental), and  Emergency Services for the
prevention of eviction and utility disconnections, Home Energy and
County Rental Assistance Programs.

If you receive any of the above services and have a difficult time
keeping up with your mail because the notice is not provided in
accessible format, Please talk with your chapter president. You can also
give this information to me. 

You can email me at Yasmin.reyazuddin at montgomerycountymd.gov. 

We hope to gather this information in the next month and to resolve the
problems.
