Presented by Young Lawyers and Disability Law Sections
About the Program
This seminar is intended as an intermediate overview of two subjects 1. Recent changes the federal government has made to the Social Security Administration, which impact SSA disability practice; and, 2. The recent and upcoming changes in federal law to Medicaid eligibility, which a substantial number of disability claimants and recipients rely on to cover their medical care. These changes are going to impact clients applying for or already receiving disability benefits and/or Medicaid, and thus practitioners helping clients with disabilities are going to need to know the new requirements, exceptions, and changes to the practice.
You Will Learn
- About the upcoming work reporting requirements to Medicaid are, what exemptions there are to the work requirements, and what disability claimants who rely on Medicaid for their medical care can do to maintain coverage while their disability claim is pending
- About the last 18+ months regarding what have been the changes to the SSA's frontline and hearings level operations
- About the considerations for disability claimants who are facing a loss of medical care (and medical documentation) due to issues with Medicaid coverage, and nuts and bolts on how to obtain proof of exemption from work reporting requirements
