A Guide to Federal Rules on SSI, SSDI, Medicaid, Medicare and Veterans Benefits for People with Disabilities

Discharge planning, properly accomplished, can assist inmates with mental illnesses in qualifying for disability benefits and Medicaid immediately upon their release so that they can access housing and mental health  and rehabilitation services. The booklet is designed to help inmates, their families and advocates, and corrections staff understand the procedures for reinstating (or applying for) these benefits.
