I'm Able to Do More

In Fall 2019, DCWP launched a public awareness campaign to raise awareness of free financial counseling tailored to people with disabilities and their families. EmpoweredNYC counselors have more than 100 hours of specialized training to help people with disabilities to manage their budgets, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, tackle Social Security Administration (SSA) overpayments, and transition to work. Campaign ads are running on targeted bus shelters, LinkNYC kiosks, in newspapers, and online. Read press release about campaign launch.
