ABIL October, 2006 Newsletter

ABIL offers and promotes programs designed to empower people with disabilities to take personal responsibility so they may achieve or continue independent lifestyles within the community. ABIL is a member of the National Council on Independent Living (NCIL). "Not just responding to change, but leading it!"

ABIL’s Home Accessibility Programs provide structural modifications to homes occupied by persons with disabilities with low and moderate-income levels.

ALTCS, DDD, Evercare and Mercy Care recipients are required to contact their Case Managers first to apply for their own environmental modification programs. The types of modifications include: wheelchair ramps, doorways widened, grab bars and modifications to bathrooms. This program is made possible by the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Home Modification Programs are match programs, where consumers are expected to pay for 10% of the modification through cash, in-kind contribution (labor, materials, and volunteerism or through other contributions). Because funding is limited, there are maximum amounts allowed for each modification.

ABIL Welcomes John Lamm as the coordinator for the Glendale (GHAP) and Peoria (PHAP) home accessibility programs. The Glendale and Peoria programs are for renters and homeowners. Renters who receive modifications must have at least a 12-month lease. John can be reached by phone at (602) 296-0537 or by e-mail at johnl@abil.org

Jay Murillo coordinates the home modification programs for both renters and homeowners who live in Phoenix (CHAMP program) and for renters who live in Scottsdale (SHAP program). Jay can be reached by phone at (602) 296-0531 or by e-mail at jaym@abil.org

Judy Benshoof coordinates the Mesa Home Accessibility Program (MHAP) for renters who live within the Mesa city limits. Judy can be contacted at (602) 296-0532 or via e-mail at judyb@abil.org.

On Tuesday, November 7th, United States voters will go to the polls for the 2006 Midterm Elections. If you are a person with a disability or a family member or friend of someone with a disability, I encourage you to help us, “Get-Out the Disability Vote.” If you care about our Country, you need to vote! If you care about matters relating to disability policy, you need to vote! If you find yourself complaining about how certain politicians do not represent our best interests, you need to vote! We have no reason to complain about our political representation if we do not vote!

No matter what your political leanings, whether Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal, there is too much at stake in these Midterm Elections to not vote. The November 7th elections will decide who controls the U.S. Congress in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The elections will significantly influence the course of our Nation on several paramount issues including the War’s in Iraq and Afghanistan, immigration, boarder security, and possibly healthcare reform.

People with disabilities have too much at stake not to vote. For decades, we have worked vigorously to obtain the civil rights and protections that we now enjoy, but those rights have been continually attacked. Do not believe for one-minute that they are guaranteed. They are not!!! They can be taken away by an insensitive legislature and political climate. Without proper vigilance, we could be denied the rights we have worked so hard to enact. Only by voting can we truly protect and ensure our civil liberties. Voting is the ultimate form of civic participation. To vote is to be personally responsible in a democratic society. And we must take this responsibility seriously!!! So, on November 7th, please go to the polls and vote!

Of course, it is not only national issues at stake. In Arizona, we will elect our next Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Superintendent of Public Instruction, State Treasurer, thirty (30) State Senators and sixty (60) State House Representatives, just to name a few of the important political races. In addition, there are 19 Ballot Propositions including eight (8) Constitutional Amendments, eight (8) Initiative Petitions and three (3) Referendums by the State Legislature.

Some of the ballot propositions of particular interest to people with disabilities and those concerned about human services include: Proposition 103, a proposed amendment to the Arizona Constitution relating to English as the official language, Proposition 107, a proposed amendment to the Arizona Constitution relating to marriage; Proposition 201, a proposed initiative petition relating to smoking; Proposition 202, a proposed initiative petition relating to the minimum wage; Proposition 203, a proposed initiative petition relating to early childhood education; Proposition 206, another proposed initiative petition relating to smoking; Proposition 300, a referendum by the legislature relating to public program eligibility; and Proposition 301, a referendum by the legislature relating to probation for methamphetamine offenses. For more information on these and other ballot propositions, go to www.azsos.gov.

People with disabilities can play an important role in these elections…if we would just vote! We could have tremendous political power…if we just vote! We could represent a significant portion of the electorate…if we just vote. So let’s heed the words of Justin Dart, and “Vote as if our lives depended on it, because they do!!!” Let’s make November 7th the day we flex our political muscle by “getting out the disability vote.”

You may wish to talk to your doctor about the drugs you are currently taking to find out if there are generic or less-expensive brand-name drugs that would work just as well as the ones you’re taking now.

Cost savings information through the use of mail-order pharmacies, generic or less-expensive brand-name drugs is also available in the Prescription Drug Plan Finder section of www.medicare.gov

National and community-based charitable programs (such as the National Patient Advocate Foundation or the National Organization for Rare Disorders) may have programs that can help with your drug costs. Information on programs in your area is available on the Benefits Checkup website at www.benefitscheckup.org

Many of the major drug manufacturers are offering assistance programs for people enrolled in Medicare Part D.
You can find out whether the manufacturers of the drugs you take offer a Patient Assistance Program by visiting the Pharmaceutical Assistance Program site at www.medicare.gov.

If you have Medicare and have limited income and resources, you may qualify for extra help paying for your prescription drugs. If you qualify, you could pay between $0-$5 for each drug. Contact Social Security by visiting www.socialsecurity.gov or by calling 1-800-772-1213. TTY users should call 1-800-325-0778.

Maricopa County Discount Prescription Card Program
Provided in partnership with the National Association of Counties (NACo)

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has launched a discount card program to help consumers cope with the high price of prescription drugs. Maricopa County is making free prescription drug discount cards available under a program sponsored by the National Association of Counties (NACo) offering a substantial savings off the retail price of commonly prescribed drugs. The cards may be used by all county residents, regardless of age, income, or existing health coverage, and are accepted at well over 90% of pharmacies throughout Maricopa County.

The NACo prescription discount card offers significant savings for the uninsured and underinsured residents of our county, and even those fortunate to have prescription coverage can use the card to save money on drugs that are not covered by their health plan. Residents do not have to be Medicare beneficiaries to be eligible for this program.

Cards are available at 35 sites county-wide, such as Maricopa County Public Libraries, the Maricopa County Public Health Department Clinic and WIC locations. Discount Cards are also available at Maricopa County’s three Animal Care & Control Pet Adoption Centers. (The card can be also be used for certain pet prescriptions available at pharmacies.) Cards are also available at Fulton Homes locations in the Valley and at the Dolce Vita Retirement Community in the Apache Junction area.

County residents can call toll free 1-877-321-2652 or visit https://naco.advancerx.com for assistance with the program. Using the NACo prescription discount card is easy. Simply present it at a participating pharmacy. There is no enrollment form, no membership fee and no restrictions or limits on frequency of use. Cardholders and their family members may use the card any time their prescriptions are not covered by insurance.

The discount card program is administered nationally by Scottsdale, Arizona-based Caremark Rx, Inc.

The National Association of Counties (NACo) is a full-service organization that provides legislative, research, technical and public affairs assistance to county governments. Created in 1935, NACo continues to ensure that the nations 3,066 counties are heard and understood in the White House and Congress.

We are pleased to announce that on October 5th, Kerry Johnson, Kelly McGowan, Janice Ward, Mike Mulroy, Lakeisha Adams, Dottie Sanderson, and Karin Kellas completed ABIL’s Peer Mentor Volunteer Training. Long time mentor Dottie Sanderson, participated in the training as a refresher course. The training included sessions on disability awareness, adaptation to disability, communication, goal planning, crisis intervention, the Independent Living philosophy and much more. Congratulations to our new peer mentors and welcome to our team!

Peer Mentoring empowers individuals with disabilities to help each other, increase their independence, improve their self-confidence and achieve independent lifestyles. Peer Mentor Volunteers assist ABIL consumers (mentees) in achieving independent living goals, such as cooking, budgeting, bus training, housing, employment, socialization, etc. They also help newly disabled individuals to adapt to their disability. Peer Mentors share knowledge, information and help in finding community resources; and they are good listeners who encourage mentees on their path towards greater independence.

If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a Peer Mentor or if you would like to update your Peer Mentor training, contact ABIL’s Volunteer Coordinator, April Reed, 602-296-0533.

Open enrollment for Medicare health and drug plans starts on November 15. Now is the time to decide if your current coverage will still meet your needs in 2007. If you are satisfied with your current Medicare plan, you don’t need to do anything. If you do want to make a change, you will find new plan options for 2007.

Medicare also has new tools to help you make a choice on their web site, www.medicare.gov, or you can always call 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048).

One of these tools is called Landscape of Local Plans. The Landscape lists all plans available in your state, providing important information that includes:

The Landscape provides information about the two different ways you can get your Medicare drug coverage:

l Stand-alone Prescription Drug Plans that offer drug coverage only. You can add drug coverage to the Original Medicare plan and some Medicare Advantage and other Medicare Health Plans through a “stand alone” prescription drug plan (PDP).

You can also use the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Finder, which will help you find and compare prescription drug plans that meet your personal needs, and enroll in the prescription drug plan that you select.

COVERAGE: Do you need more coverage in 2007? Will the prescription drugs you take be covered by your plan in 2007?

Theater is all about imagination. It’s all about telling a story. It’s all about drawing the audience in and taking them for a ride. Storytelling is the vehicle.

Different name, same service... however it’s spelled, it’s where you can find out how employment will affect your SSI/SSDI cash and medical benefits and learn about the work incentives available to help transition to work. ABIL has received a new grant from the U.S. Social Security Administration to continue to provide employment related benefit counseling services to individuals on SSI and SSDI. We can help you plan for your future, explain SSA rules and help you manage your benefits while you work.

Q: I am currently enrolled in both AHCCCS and Medicare. Do I need to apply for the Low Income Subsidy (“Extra Help”) for help in lowering my prescription drug costs?

A: No. If you are eligible for both health insurance programs, you will be automatically enrolled in the Extra Help program. This will allow you to get your covered prescription drugs at no cost to you. This is true even if you are working full-time and are enrolled in the AHCCCS Freedom to Work program.

For those living on under $21,000 a year, the retirement years may not seem so golden. Where do people on very limited budgets find the right place to live?

First on the list, for those able to handle their daily needs, is HUD Housing. The Westward Ho in downtown Phoenix has been totally remodeled and provides HUD subsidized-Section 8 housing. The monthly rent for an apartment is 30% of your adjusted income. The Westward Ho is the former luxury hotel where many Hollywood stars stayed while visiting Phoenix. Amenities include a pool and patio.

For those in need of personal assistance and no longer choose to live alone, there are group homes in beautiful residential neighborhoods throughout the Valley. Of the 1600 licensed residential homes, there are several hundred that take Arizona Long Term Care (ALTCS). To qualify under ALTCS your income has to be under $21,000 and assets limited to $2000 or less. You must also medically qualify.

If you have some liquid assets but not enough to afford lengthy long-term care, here are a few options: If your liquid assets are under $80,000 and yearly income is under $25,000 and either you or your spouse was a veteran who served during an active war, the VA will help with paying for the residential group home. This means access to all 1600 hundred homes, even those in Paradise Valley!

Be aware of your choices. Plan ahead and live in a setting you are proud to call “home.” For more information on housing possibilities contact Linda Bliss, Bliss Creative Senior Living, 602-996-5593.
