Disability Benefits & Employment Workshop: All about Youth!

A young adult female with long brown hair who has a disability, smiles at the camera. On a yellow background to the right, is the Able South Carolina logo and the words "Benefits Workshop for youth under 25" and the date and time.

• Are you under the age of 25, receive disability benefits, but want to work? 
• Have you been told that doing so would cause you to automatically lose your cash benefits or Medicaid? 
• If so, register for a FREE workshop to let us dispel some of the myths about working while receiving SSI/SSDI and connect you with local organizations that can help you with your job search! 

Join us on Thursday, February 23 from 10 AM - 12 PM through Zoom!

Registering ensures you get the link and all the materials needed. Registration closes on Wednesday, February 22. 

If you have any questions, contact hiremesc@able-sc.org and we will be happy to help!

For more information, email hiremesc@able-sc.org or call 1-800-681-7715/TTY: 864-235-8798
