Supplemental Security Income The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program provides cash benefits to needy individuals who are aged, blind or disabled. There is no minimum age requirement for eligibility under SSI. However, unlike ordinary Social Security recipients, SSI recipients must meet certain income and financial resources tests to qualify for the program's benefits. You are not limited on the number of applications you may make for these benefits. If benefits are denied on the first application, that does not mean that benefits will be denied on the second application. Furthermore, if benefits are denied, reduced or terminated, you have a right to request reconsideration and, if necessary, a hearing before an administrative law judge.

Rationale: On March 8, 1994 the Kansas State Board of Education adopted a policy statement on least restrictive environment for students with disabilities. On March 30, 1994, the State Board responded to questions from the Senate Education Committee regarding the issue of inclusion. As a result of these two new initiatives in the realm of least restrictive environment, the Student Support Services has decided to revoke Policy dated January 7, 1991 and replace it with the least restrictive environment policy statement adopted by the State Board of Education and response to questions put forth by the Senate Education Committee.

General Education Interventions, Initial Evaluation, Eligibility and the IEP Federal law has required schools to locate, evaluate and identify children with disabilities for over twenty years. Kansas law provides for the same protections and includes students with giftedness in its special education statutes and regulations. The reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA-97) added to the federal requirements for conducting an initial evaluation to determine if a student is eligible for special education and related services. In May 2000, Kansas adopted new Kansas Regulations for Special Education, which reflect these added requirements.

"Let's get with it here," Lawrence school Supt. Randy Weseman said. "We have to have budgets done in six weeks." He added, "I think the court understands the deadlines we are under." But the Kansas Supreme Court justices gave no indication they would move that quickly. Alan Rupe, of Wichita, an attorney representing school districts that sued the state over inequalities in state aid to districts, urged the court to issue an order that could force the Legislature to hold a special session and approve a $1 billion tax increase by mid-June.

Let us help you find the right on-line or traditional school for you. Click here to pinpoint which schools are right for you. Ask the Experts: Job Hunting When You're Disabled Question: I have great abilities but also a disability - I am hearing impaired. I have been looking for work for 6 months and can't find a job. I have tried job boards but rarely get an interview. How can I get a job with my disability? I have a college degree and am a Microsoft Certified Professional. Companies say they hire the handicapped but I have not seen that to be the case. First Answer: Are you stating on your resume or application that you have a disability? Remember legally the only questions that an employer can ask center around how the disability affects your ability to do the job. If your disability does not affect your ability to do the job there is no need to disclose your disability. I certainly would not put that on my resume. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can discuss it in an interview in a very positive way. Something along the lines of..."I am sure that you noticed that I wear a hearing aid. I just want to assure you that my wearing this in no way negatively affects my ability to do the job. In fact, I am surprised at the number of people who have never even noticed." Do not dwell on the fact of your disability. Keep the interview positive. Linda Wyatt , Career Center Director, Kansas City Kansas Community College Second Answer: Some may view your disability as a disability, but if you know how to use this to your advantage, you could find a great position.
