SECONDARY TRANSITION EXPERIENCE PROGRAM

Benefits Resources

Both the federal government and the state government will provide financial assistance and benefits to an individual with a disability if certain criteria are met.

Questions to think about or ask service providers:
What proof of my disabled condition is required?
What proof of my financial situation is required?
What happens to the financial/medical benefits if I get a job?
How often is my eligibility for benefits reviewed?
How are benefits affected if I live at home with my parents?
What do I need to do to keep getting financial benefits?
What records need to be turned in regularly?
What changes in my situation need to be reported and when?
