Increasing Access to Benefits for Peoples with Disabilities project - Insights and Recommendations

This 60-minute webinar for front line practitioners and government agencies shares the insights and recommendations from the three-year Increasing Access to Benefits for Peoples with Disabilities project.

During this webinar we:

  • Summarize the key barriers facing people with disabilities in accessing benefits programs 
  • Share values and design principles to advance access to benefits for people with disabilities 
  • Discuss the importance of evaluation in access to benefits projects  
  • Provide a blueprint for organizations interested in adding or enhancing access to benefits support to help clients increase their incomes by accessing government benefits.  

We also provide a demonstration of how the Disability Benefits Compass can simplify the search for the key government disability benefits which can help people to boost their incomes.
