Disability Lifeline benefits termination... You can appeal!
|
|
As of September 1, 2010, thousands of Washington State residents will lose their Disability Lifeline (formerly called GA-U or General Assistance-Unemployable) State benefits. Disability Lifeline provides $339 in cash and medical benefits to people with very low incomes who are unable to work due to a temporary physical or mental health disability. For the first time, Disability Lifeline sets a time limit on receipt of benefits to 24 months in the past 60 months.
If you or someone you know has received a termination notice, you have the right to appeal! You have until the end of the month you received your termination notice to file your appeal and keep benefits until the hearing decision. You can still file an appeal later — up to 90 days after your notice — but you will not continue to receive benefits while you wait.
For information on how to file an appeal please read our blog post: You can appeal termination of Disability Lifeline benefits. |
