October 2025 is the eightieth anniversary of the National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). NDEAM is a celebration of the many changes that have been made to create a more inclusive environment for individuals with disabilities who want to work. Pennsylvania is an Employment First State, encouraging individuals with disabilities to pursue competitive integrated employment as the first consideration and desired outcome. In honor of NDEAM, Governor Shapiro has issued a proclamation celebrating the many contributions and advancements in disability employment. Please join the Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) in celebrating the individuals who are working to provide equal opportunities and inclusivity to all individuals.

As we reach the end of Self-Care Awareness Month, Leahy Life Plan wanted to send a reminder to prioritize our own well-being. It's crucial that we all take time for ourselves, not just this month, but as an ongoing practice.

To assist you in incorporating daily self-care into your routine, here is a checklist of activities and ideas. I encourage everyone to review it and identify practices that resonate with them. Please remember that taking care of ourselves allows us to be more effective and present in both our professional and personal lives.

As the September 30 deadline approaches, this is an important reminder to prepare for the transition to electronic payments. All federal benefit payments will soon be issued electronically, and paper checks will be phased out in most cases.

If you still receive paper checks, now is the time to act. To avoid any disruption in payments, you should switch to electronic payment options before September 30.

September is Life Insurance Awareness Month. The most guaranteed way to provide for your adult child with a disability is Life Insurance. In most cases it’s not taxed or counted as a resource when placed in the Special Needs Trust. If you have a life insurance policy on the person with a disability it can be counted as a resource and prevent them from receiving “Waivers” or SSI benefits if they are named as the owner or beneficiary. We specialize in creating a tailored Life Plan to help protect your assets while providing an individual with a disability the best quality of life.
