Understanding Public Benefits

The more advocates can learn about the process of applying for public benefits, what’s involved when one is receiving them, and even appealing decisions made, can increase their confidence in engaging in advocacy work with Survivors and better ensure that Survivors can access benefits vital to long term safety and healing.
