Monthly Legal Clinic for Social Security Beneficiaries with Post-Entitlement / Eligibility Issues at PWDF’s offices

Join PWDF on March 28, 2019 from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time for Social Security Beneficiaries with Post-Entitlement / Eligibility Issues at People With Disabilities Foundation, 507 Polk Street, Suite 430, San Francisco, CA 94102.

If you are already on benefits and you are being reviewed or ceased, we may be able to assist. For example, if SSA is conducting a work review or income or resource redetermination and you are having problems with SSA, whether based on your disability or the way in which SSA applies their work incentive rules to you, this clinic may be for you. This clinic is not for overpayments only.

The clinic is free and by appointment only. Please see our website for updates and details.
