SUMMARY:FFFP – August 5\, 2022 – Let’s Get Moving! Forward-Thinking Housing Solutions for All (Part 2)
DESCRIPTION:While you will get the most out of attending both sessions\, you do not need to attend Part One to participate in and learn from Part Two. Both sessions will be recorded if you are not able to attend both. \nThinking about housing solutions for your loved one can be overwhelming. Where to start? What are my options? Housing is one of the most complicated issues involved in establishing a fulfilling\, supported independent life for family members with disabilities. It can be a daunting prospect for family members who are engaged in future planning for their loved ones with disabilities\, but fortunately you are not in this alone. Join The Arc of Northern Virginia’s Special Needs Trust team for a two-part webinar series focused on housing solutions for adults with any disability. \nIn Part One\, we will be joined by a panel of experts to discuss what options are available through state and federal services and how to weave services in a way that support individualized needs. By combining and individualizing your approach to these services\, you’ll be able to formulate a housing strategy that suits your loved one’s needs precisely. \nPart Two of this series will continue the exploration of quality housing options for individuals with disabilities\, sharing a number of success stories and engaging in problem-solving with our participants. This will allow you to see how these strategies have been successfully put into real-world practice\, and to get a better idea of what those solutions could look like for you and your family. \nDuring both sessions\, attendees will join facilitated breakout rooms to discuss the presentations and come up with questions to bring back to the panelists. These sessions are intended to establish actionable items and are meant to address all levels of support. \nPresenters will include: \nJeannie Cummins-Eisenhour from DBHDS \nDonna Budway from Our Stomping Grounds \nMelissa Blackburn from SafeInHome \nMark Albert\, Board Member\, The Arc of Northern Virginia \nTia Marsili\, Director of Trusts\, The Arc of Northern Virginia \nRegister for this event here.

SUMMARY:August 26 - EFMP Community Resource Workshop Series: Recertification\, Retaining Benefits\, and Other Issues (ZOOM meeting)
DESCRIPTION:Presenters:\nAlex Yellin\, Grantor/Retired Navy\nEd Heaton\, Grantor/COL (Ret) USAR \nExceptional Family Member Program Community Resource Workshop Series \nDid you know that losing financial dependency status would force your loved one off TriCare AND eliminate them from SBP payments? What do I need to do to ensure long-term coverage? Who will complete the final recertification when I die? What is the DOD financial dependency process? \nThe reality of caring for a loved one with a disability already presents a number of challenges\, particularly when it comes to navigating the requirements of community-based and governmental services. The specific rules and processes in place for military families comes with their own labyrinth of procedures and deadlines\, and failing to meet those requirements can have disastrous results for dependents. This presentation covers the What-ifs of retaining military benefits for your disabled dependent. \n  \n \n  \n  \n \n  \n
