Benefits Planning & Information

There’s no doubt about it: Information about federal and state benefits, employment, and taxes is complicated. It’s also variable depending upon your situation. The Center on Community Living and Careers works with agencies and organizations around Indiana to be sure there are knowledgeable people around the state to advise individuals with disabilities and their families about their unique circumstances and opportunities.
