Vocational Rehabilitation Nevada
Do you ever think about high school? What about after that? What are your options? If you are a Nevada student asking these questions, you have come to the right place! VR Nevada can help you progress to higher education and/or employment.
Social Security Administration
The Social Security Administration, known as SSA, provides assistance to students with disabilities through programs that offer support to people who need help paying medical bills or living costs. The SSA also has programs to help students work and still keep some benefits, so they can become more independent as they grow. (Pro tip: Talk to a grown up you trust about staying current with all your paperwork with the SSA and save yourself a ton of time in the future!)
Let me tell you more about some of the services they have and we’ll get you social security savvy in no time! Click on the programs below to learn more.
You can Apply for SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) if you’re a student under 22 with a disability. You might qualify through a parent’s Social Security record, even if you haven’t worked. If approved, SSDI will help with your living expenses.
A PASS (Plan to Achieve Self Support) is a written plan of action for getting a particular kind of job or starting a business. If SSA approves your PASS, they will not count the money you spend on your plan when they determine your eligibility for SSI. If you are already eligible for SSI, this will increase your SSI payment, which will replace all of the money you spend on your PASS. Basically, you write the plan, and if it’s approved, you can get funds to help you make it happen! Talk to an adult you trust about taking a PASS at making one!
