New Event: Medicaid Eligibility Legal Clinic
Disability Rights NJ and the Disability Law Student Association at Rutgers
Law School Camden seek up to 20 adults receiving services from DDD in New
Jersey to register for a Medicaid eligibility legal clinic on October 29,
2021 from 1:30pm to 4:00pm.

The clinic will offer no cost one-on-one consultations with law students
and Disability Rights NJ attorneys to ensure continued Medicaid eligibility
during and after the end of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency.

Any adult enrolled with the DDD Supports, Supports+PDN, or Community Care
Programs may request an appointment, but appointments are limited. Slots
are first-come, first-serve. Virtual and in-person appointments at the
Rutgers Law School in Camden, NJ will be available.

If you receive services from DDD and had any of the following changes
during the pandemic, this clinic is for you!

   - Turned 65 years old
   - Had a change in income or savings
   - Began receiving SSDI or Medicare
   - Lost work
   - Lost SSI eligibility, or
   - You just want to check up on your Medicaid and DDD eligibility.

To request a slot, please email your name, home address, and contact number
to advocate at disabilityrightsnj.org with “DLSA Clinic” in the subject line.

It's Election Season!

For this upcoming election, NJ is offering an accessible vote-by-mail
electronic ballot. Disability Rights NJ recently sponsored a webinar with
Democracy Live to demonstrate the accessible vote-by-mail ballot to help
individuals with disabilities understand the process and determine whether
this option works for them.

NJ residents can request an electronic mail-in ballot from their county
clerk. The electronic ballot can be read aloud through compatible programs
such as JAWS.

After completing the online ballot, it must be printed, and returned in a
county-provided envelope through the mail, a ballot drop box, or in person
to the county board of elections. The recorded webinar has been linked
below and goes in-depth on accessible vote-by-mail.

Please share this information widely to your members so that they are fully
aware of their rights to an accessible vote-by-mail ballot.

All forms of voting should be accessible. If you have any questions or
issues, please contact Disability Rights NJ at 866-493-0023.
