Cuts to federal Medicaid spending continue to be a top concern, however other programs important to people with disabilities may cut through the reconciliation bill process, and the administration is making changes at several federal agencies including the Dept. of Health and Human Services, Social Security, and Education that directly impact people with disabilities.
Join us on Friday May 2nd from 9-10:30am for Federal Funding Updates and Action Steps.
When you register, you will receive another e-mail with the registration link for the webinar. Please note, some people have reported issues with phones and tablets showing all screens (ASL interpreters, speaker, and screen share).
This webinar is limited to the first 500 people who log on. BPDD is committed to making its resources as accessible as possible. If you need interpretation to participate in this webinar, please indicate that when registering and let us know by each Wednesday before the webinar. BPDD has not received funding since March 14 and has no assurance of continued funding, so will not be providing interpretation unless it is requested by Wednesday before the Friday webinar.
The presentation will be recorded. All people who register will get a follow up email after the webinar with a link to the recording and presentation slides.
In this webinar we will cover:
- Latest on what we know about proposed Federal Medicaid cuts
- Ways people like you have successfully connected with lawmakers on Medicaid
- Tips and strategies you can use to educate lawmakers and people you know about Medicaid, and what cutting it would mean for people like you.
- Ideas you can put into action as an individual or part of the larger disability community to make more people aware of why Medicaid matters
