Joint letter of support for the SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act in the 119th Congress from The Arc of the US and around 240 other organizations advocating for people with disabilities and older adults.

The Arc submitted testimony to the Senate Finance Committee on their June 18, 2024, hearing on “Work and Social Security Disability Benefits: Addressing Challenges and Creating Opportunities.”

The Arc submitted comments for a rule that would advance workers rights in the AbilityOne program. The Arc mentioned concerns over the potential negative impact on nonprofit agencies providing quality jobs. The Arc recommends aligning the rule with the 898 Panel's recommendations to mitigate these risks.

The Arc supports the proposed rule but has recommendations. The recommendations include changes to strengthen worker protections and ensure clarity in eligibility and employment standards.

In this presentation, Kevin Crosley explores how Arc Herkimer has created diverse employment opportunities for the people with disabilities they support through the acquisition of multiple facilities in the community and the operation of different business enterprises.
