Sharing some news within the disability community.
First, planned parenthood and advocates have created a sexual education curriculum for people with developmental disabilities. You can find the link here.
Second, The Department of Public Welfare is planning to cut up to 24 percent of the supplements it pays to federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients. Unless reversed, DPW's action means that individual SSI recipients now receiving only $27.40 per month as the state supplement will get $22.10. Couples receiving SSI will see their supplement cut from $43.70 per month to only $33.70 per month. Even at the higher numbers, persons getting the supplement must live at approximately 75 percent of the federal poverty level.
Third, the Miracle League of Cranberry Township is accepting registrations for the 2010 season. If you are interested in volunteering please visit this website.
Fourth, by April 15, 2010, the U.S. Social Security Administration must provide materials/communications to its beneficiaries in an accessible format. Hard to believe they serve individuals with disabilities and do not provide accessible information.
