Graduation is a big milestone. It’s also the point where a lot of support changes hands. If you or someone you love has a disability and is leaving high school soon, here is what to line up now: 1. Decide on decision-making authority: guardianship or power of attorney 2. Apply for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) 3. Apply for or update your NOW/COMP planning list status (Georgia’s Medicaid waiver programs) 4. Request services from the Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency (GVRA) 5. Review the programs and resources available to you 6. Plan ahead with a Supplemental Needs Trust 7. Plan ahead with an ABLE account 8. Write a Letter of Intent Some of these steps involve waiting lists and paperwork, so starting early helps. Save this post and send it to a family who needs it.
