Navigating through the myriad of programs that impact your ability to return to work can be a nightmare, and knowing how employment can impact your current benefits is complex.  Fear of losing cash assistance and health benefits can often discourage people with disabilities from working.  Disability Program Navigators will assist you with accurate information; appropriate referral; and will guide you to goal attainment.  

The Social Security Administration and the Department of Labor are jointly sponsoring Disability Program Navigators to better inform SSI and SSDI beneficiaries and other individuals with disabilities about work support programs now available at DOL-funded One-Stop Career Centers.  The Disability Program Navigator will help people with disabilities “navigate” through the enormous challenges of seeking work.  Complex rules surrounding entitlement programs, along with the fear of losing cash assistance and health benefits, can often discourage people with disabilities from working.  The Navigator will assist the disabled consumer to access and navigate the complex provisions of various programs that impact their ability to gain, return to, or retain employment.  

Navigators are currently working at One-Stop Career Centers across Oklahoma.  You can reach them for information or appointment at the following locations by calling and asking for the Disability Program Navigator.
