We're back at it over here at ECNV. Our Spring Lunch and Learns covering all things Benefits Enrollment for supports like SSI/SSD were very well received and this fall, we're doing it again. The next session will be Friday, November 13, 2026 at 12:00 Noon.
Please mark the dates on your calendar and all sessions are Virtual:
Get your questions ready and join us in a practical but friendly atmosphere that will help you better understand the programs right for you and your loved ones with disabilities.

You’ll learn how to:

Make informed choices and find out who else can help you be successful
Bring your lunch and your questions — and leave with clarity.
