On April 6 at 7PM, join Disability Rights NJ, Pinelands Preservation
Alliance, and Hopeworks as they host the first of three Town Halls to learn
how we can improve access to nature for people with disabilities. The goal
of the Town Hall is to hear from people with disabilities, their families,
supporters, and advocates to talk about barriers to access, accessible
sites, and begin to build up a grass-roots coalition to ensure that all New
Jerseyans can tap into New Jersey’s outdoor public spaces.

SSI & SSDI Overpayments:
An Overview of What you Need to Know
to Tackle Overpayments
Please join the Employment Team of Disability Rights New Jersey as they
host a two-part webinar intended to provide a basic overview of SSI and
SSDI overpayments, how to respond appropriately, and how to prevent
recoupment while appealing the issue.

If you are an individual who receives either Supplemental Security Income
(SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or care for someone
that does, you may have received notices from Social Security that you have
received monthly benefits in excess of what the law permits. This is called
an overpayment. Such overpayments may or may not be accurate or legitimate.

A social security recipient can appeal overpayments and this webinar will
show you how. Each seminar is tailored to whether you receive either SSI or
SSDI.
The rules differ regarding the appeal process of an overpayment and can be
numerous and complex. This is an important webinar not to miss.
