Funding Your Accessible Van with a Grant By Guest Blogger Susan Hawkins, Content Manager for AMS Vans, Inc. Mobility beyond the wheelchair is out there, but so often, it’s out of reach financially for individuals with disabilities who have spent thousands on medical care. There are several avenues that lead to funds for a wheelchair accessible vehicle or adaptive equipment for driving, like loans, government assistance, mobility rebates and grants. So what’s great about grants? Grant money doesn’t need to be repaid, which makes it especially attractive. What’s more, grant opportunities are plentiful; relevant grant-making organizations and foundations will supply partial or complete funding on wheelchair accessible vans for sale or assistive equipment; and you can combine funds from several sources to purchase the freedom and independence an accessible vehicle provides. Be Patient Grant providers don’t work in your time frame. Be Prepared with Necessary Information Line up Medical Records and References Make Your Case

In most cases, moving from state to state does not interrupt your Social Security Disability benefits. Social Security Disability Insurance and SSI are both federal programs, and your eligibility is not significantly affected by your state of residence. You may, of course, have to apply for state supplemental benefits in your new state of residence and you will be discontinued from supplemental benefits from your old state of residence. If you are going to move, whether you are moving to another state or across the street, you should notify the Social Security Administration of your new address and phone number as soon as you have the information. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments are calculated based on the number of years you have worked and the average amount of annual income you received. You can notify the Social Security Administration of your new address either in person or through their website.
