We will be back in touch once the meetings have been rescheduled. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Are you interested in employment for ALL Pennsylvanians with disabilities?

The Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare has received a “Comprehensive Medicaid Infrastructure Grant” (MIG) from the Center for Medicare / Medicaid Services (CMS) to address employment for persons with disabilities. Developing a comprehensive strategic plan that sets the course for increased employment opportunities is a critical requirement of the MIG.
