What are the goals of DB101?
Having real income from real jobs often means being better off financially and having a better quality of life. However, for people with disabilities a critical barrier to employment is the fear of losing state or federal benefits when working.
DB101 helps people get accurate information and understand the relationships between work and benefits so they may:
- Begin making work part of the plan
- Make informed choices about work
- Reduce their fears
People with disabilities have choices when it comes to work. Use DB101.org to explore options, learn about work incentives and reach employment goals.
