Strategies and Considerations for Representing Older Adults with Social Security Administration Benefits

Strategies and Considerations for Representing Older Adults with Social Security Administration Benefits

The goal of this presentation is to increase understanding of experiences of unhoused older adults with disabilities for programs and practitioners. With a focus on Social Security Administration benefits, these slides detail how to support older adults in these applications. Further, slides instruct stakeholders on characteristics and service needs of the population, disability and aging networks, and home and community based services.
