Act now to support two critical disability rights issues!

This year, with your support, we defended cuts to Medicaid for the millions of people nationwide who rely on it. But our fight to protect and expand rights for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities isn’t over. Please join us again in contacting your members of Congress about two priority issues.We desperately need more funding for HCBS so people with disabilities can access the vital care they need to thrive!

Medicaid home and community-based services (HCBS) play a vital role in helping people with disabilities live independently in the community—but a lack of funding for these services has left over 650,000 people stuck on waiting lists.Too many people are in limbo, unsure of when they will gain access to critical benefits, and many live segregated lives in the archaic institutions that still exist in 33 states. Tell Congress to increase funding for HCBS so life in the community possible for all! Act Now to Say #CareCantWait Join us in demanding updates to SSI for the millions of people with disabilities who rely on it!Outdated rules to the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program force millions of people with disabilities into poverty and prevent many others from getting married for risk of losing their much-needed benefits.Congress can change this by passing the SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act, which would raise SSI asset limits for the first time in over 30 years and reduce marriage penalties related to SSI asset limits.Tell Congress to Update SSI!
