Introduction The Earned-Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a federal income tax credit for individuals who work and have earned income under certain levels. One goal of the EITC is to reduce or offset the amount of payroll taxes withheld while at the same time encouraging individuals who might otherwise receive other public benefits to seek employment. Veterans' Benefits are available to veterans of the United States Armed Services and, at times, their dependents for both service and non-service connected disabilities. Both cash and health care coverage may be available to the veteran and, at times, eligible dependents. But how will these benefits impact the receipt or eligibility for SSDI and SSI?
Key Topics
  • General Provisions of Workers’ Compensation
  • Coverage
  • Workers’ Compensation for Federal Government Employees
  • Effect of Workers’ Compensation Benefits on SSDI
  • Effect of Workers’ Compensation on SSI
Special Features This informational seminar provides basic information pertaining to eligibility for and claiming the Earned-Income Tax Credit using lecture, PowerPoint and opportunity for question and answer. A preparatory reading assignment will be provided and is required.
Who Will Benefit Any individual who is responsible for assisting a beneficiary in maneuvering the complexity of federal entitlements when returning to work will benefit from this program. This includes attorneys, advocates, social workers, case managers, rehabilitation workers and job placement personnel.
