Benefits for Californians 101

This gets the first Badass Award for being so darn useful and easy-to-use! I'm stoked about this resource, and you should be too. If you're like me and have two conditions met:

1. are disabled
2. live in California

...then you must bookmark this site!

It's got info on Health Coverage, Your Rights (COBRA), Income Support (like SDI), Lifestyle (like Newly Diagnosed wtf do i do now?!), and my favorite feature, the Calculators.

Benefits Planning Calculators include:

• Benefits to Work
• Between Jobs
• Medi-Cal for the Working

This is the stuff that makes me stoked about living in Cali, and in the USA for that matter. I'd like to think my taxes are going to something badass like this.

Thank Yous go to the following fantastic organizations:

• EightFold Way Consultants
• World Institute on Disability
• ECONorthwest
• Department of Rehab
• The California Endowment
• Community Technology Foundation of California

*whew* That's a mouthful. But you can bet your bottom (tax) dollar that I won't hold back my thank-yous if organizations like these keep producing badass resources like this!

I'm happy now! Cheers!
