In this webinar, the impact of public benefits such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) on individuals with disabilities seeking to become financially empowered is discussed. This includes the limits public benefits can impose on people’s finances and the myths that prevent individuals from seeking employment. The webinar also touches on how being able to manage those benefits and rely on them less can lead to more control over day-to-day spending, goal setting, increased ability to save and improved overall financial well-being.
