What Benefits Counselors Should Know about Appeals

Ever wonder what you can do when your clients are denied for public benefits for which you think they are eligible? This summer our training webinars will focus on just that -- what benefits counselors should know about appeals for the following programs: Medicare Part D Low-Income Subsidy (LIS), the Medicare Savings Programs (MSP), the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP – formerly known as Food Stamps) and Medicare Parts A and B. We continue our summer series in July with SNAP appeals.
