The Bellingham Early Childhood Program Presents
Massachusetts Public Benefits Programs for Children with Special Needs
Please join us at the Preschool on Thursday, April 25, 2013 from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM. Gail Havelick from the Department of Public Health, Division for Perinatal, Early Childhood, and Special Health Needs will present a program for parents interested in learning about the complex system that families rely on to finance health care for children with disabilities or chronic illnesses. She will discuss Supplemental Security Income (S.S.I.) eligibility, the application process for Mass Health (Medicaid), benefits, and appeals. Families with private insurance may have children who would qualify for supplemental insurance called Common Health and premium assistance for their private insurance.
Amy Boone, the Children’s Coordinator for the Department of Developmental Services, will also be available. She will present an overview of the services her Department provides.
There is no fee to attend. Those wishing to attend should call the preschool office at 508-966-2512 or email, swhite@bellinghamk12.org by Friday, April 12, 2013 to register.
