SSI and SSDI info sessions

We have FREE monthly in-person and virtual workshops on How to Apply for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) for individuals between the ages of 18 and 64. For those who are currently receiving SSI and SSDI benefits, we also provide monthly workshops that explain the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) work incentives – SSA’s Ticket-To-Work Program!

These informational workshops are tailored for Dutchess County, NYS residents. However, anyone is welcome to attend. Services are paid for in part by Dutchess County Think Differently.

Current dates and times of the recurring workshops can be found on our Mobile Disability Benefits Counseling subpage: https://taconicresources.org/mobile-disability-benefits-counseling/

The virtual Zoom meetings are not in a Webinar format. Your display name and camera/video (if you choose to turn on) will be visible to other attendees. The virtual meeting set-up is just as if you were attending a workshop in person. We advise that you do not share any confidential information about yourself or of others in group settings. You can schedule a private one-on-one meeting with the benefits counselor after attending the workshop.
