Benefits Advisement

HOME PAGE

• Interested in applying for disability benefits from the Social Security Administration under Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Income (SSDI)?

• Are you appealing a denial of your application for benefits?

• Do you receive SSI and/or SSDI and want to return to work?

The RCAL Benefits Advisor can assist with your application and explain Social Security's Work Incentives for recipients who return to work, including:

• SSI benefit calculation,

• Impairment Related Work Expenses,

• Job Subsidies,

• Trial Work Months,

• Extended Period of Eligibility,

• Expedited Reinstatement and

• Ticket to Work. 

In addition, we can help with other Social Security matters such as overpayments or the preparation of a PASS (Plan for Self Sufficiency).

RCAL can also assist with filing an application for Medicaid, Medicaid with spend-down, or Medicaid Buy-In for Working People with Disabilities.

Although RCAL does not provide housing or transportation, we can provide resource information.
