How Your Child Can Work and Keep Benefits (PEATC)

Description:

Employment is an important part of our identities. Individuals with disabilities, even the most significant disabilities, can work if they receive the appropriate supports. Sometimes, parents are fearful that if their child works, they will lose their Social Security or Medicaid Benefits. Work incentives can help your child earn a paycheck and keep their benefits. Check out PEATC's new resource:  Work and Benefits – How Your Child Can Work and Keep Benefits to learn more about work incentives from the Social Security Administration!
