The National Council on Disability (NCD) is gathering feedback from the public, through three online listening sessions in March, to learn how public benefits programs (like SSI, SSDI, Medicaid and vocational rehabilitation) are working (or failing) to support people with disabilities. Join us to share your ideas about policy reforms in the areas of health and employment, as critical for establishing and maintaining financial stability for working-age adults with disabilities.
These online listening sessions will inform NCD’s upcoming progress report, including policy recommendations for disability-related policies at the federal and state level.
Registration is required to participate in any of the three listening sessions.
