Synopsis "The Aids Benefits Handbook: Everything you Need to Know to get Social Security, Welfare, Medicaid, Medicare, Food Stamps, Housing. (Yale Fastback Series) (in English)"
"I know of no other publication that serves the function that this book provides. It is invaluable."―David Barr, Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, New YorkPersons with AIDS and with AIDS-Related Complex (ARC) must cope with pressing income and health needs. The U.S. social welfare system offers financial and health care benefits to disabled people, but its maze of programs is frustrating and difficult to understand. This vitally important book is the first comprehensive, step-by-step guide to obtaining social welfare benefits for people with AIDS and ARC. The book discusses the programs that are available, from Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, and welfare to Medicaid, Medicare, food stamps, housing, drugs, and hospital care. In each case it cuts through the complexities of the welfare system and summarizes in practical and concise terms what benefits are available, who is eligible for them, where and how to apply, how to appeal, and other key data. The handbook also contains state-by-state lists of resources and suggestions for program improvements. The book is an essential reference not only for the one million people who are HIV-infected but also for every worker and agency that assists these individuals. It will also be helpful to needy, disabled, or elderly persons seeking access to similar benefits.
