Dispelling Myths and Fears about Accessing Employment : Understand How to Use Work Incentives to Choose Work!

Abstract

Despite initiatives and laws to assist people with disabilities in finding employment, it is sometimes difficult to convince people with disabilities to attempt work even though it may improve the quality of their life. This presentation will provide a broad overview of SSA work rules and will identify the most common myths that continue to plague beneficiaries of social security in their efforts to return to work. Learn how to overcome barriers so you can train others on work rules which support the value of full community integration, employment, and self-sufficiency for all.
