Non-Citizens are able to access some benefits and entitlements. However, there are often additional eligibility requirements and time limits for this population. Navigating these differences can be especially challenging for those who speak English as a second language. This workshop will focus on which benefits are available to documented non-citizens and what steps are needed to access them along with resources available to those who need additional support.
*Please note that the CEUs will be provided to you after your participation is confirmed and will be provided to you by Clifton T. Perkins Hospital Center within a few days of the training date. Thank you.*
