Many Small Acts Of Rebellion
For My Mentor And Constant, Muse; Dr Theodore Adams, Professor of Sociology


Is A Program For Anyone Over 55 Years Old Who Meets The Financial Requirements.
It Provides Paid Job Training.


Older Worker Program Finder-SCSEP

Program Description The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), is a community service and work based training program, for older workers.

Authorized by the Older Americans Act, the program provides subsidized, service-based training for low-income persons 55 or older who are unemployed and have poor employment prospects.

Participants have access to both SCSEP services and other employment assistance usually found through your local Unemployment Office Vocational Rehabilitation Dept

For Further Information regarding SCSEP programs in your area contact your local One-Stop Career Center through the Toll-Free Help Line at 1-877-US2-JOBS (1-877-872-5627)

State Vocational Rehabilitation Agency Coordinates and provides counseling, evaluation, and job placement services for people with disabilities.
State Vocational Rehabilitation Agency

Goal SCSEP provides both community services and work-based training. Participants work an average of 25 hours a week, and are paid the highest of federal, state or local minimum wage. They are placed in a wide variety of community service activities at non-profit and public facilities, including day-care centers, senior centers, schools and hospitals.

It is intended that community service training serves as a bridge to unsubsidized employment opportunities; SCSEP's goal is to place 30% of its authorized positions into unsubsidized employment annually.

SCSEP Stipend Wages, Do Not Count As Resources When Calculating Food Stamp And Housing Benefits Like Standard Employment Wages Do!

----------
Pass Plan And Ticket To Work Are For Those Already On Regular type Social Security, SSI And Or SSDI Who Feel That They Are Able To Return To Work, Full or Part Time, And Need Training And Supplies.

There is no penalty for failing!
Anyone who tries Pass Plan And Ticket To Work And After Time Is Not Successful in their work goals. No penalty at all! I got my computer from this program. btw I failed! But I got my computer and a desk chair and some clothes before I did.

The Pass Plan Also Offers Assistance For All Social Security Participants Who Want To Start A Small Business of their own.


Pass Plan

Plan for Achieving Self-Support-Form SSA-545

Don't fall for that employment network who wants $400.00 to do your pass plan application.
Although if you want to start your own business. You may need help to create your business plan, maybe not. Pass gives you the instructions how to do that too.
It's a simple application, won't take more than a couple of hours to do. Pace yourself, do a little whenever you have time and soon it will be completed. Don't try to do it all at one time.

You can fill it out by hand. Print, in black ink, neatly. Will be fine.
I was told by my person who handles my case that "they want people to be approved and succeed so they will work with the client in order to get their plan approved".

In other words, if you fill out the application completely and correctly and there are any issues they need to work out. They will ask you more questions and you can reply from there.

You all come to a conclusion about what you get together. You don't need an Employment Network to fill out the form, or know just what to do or say.

Just fill it out as best you can, the Pass Program will contact you if it needs to be amended. Don't pay Four Hundred Dollars out of your SSI check, even if they say oh, it's just small monthly installments.
Never pay for services. Anyone who wants money is in business. You don't need to buy this service. Real easy to do yourself, or with a friend's help. You could type it up if you know how. Still easy. I did mine myself, and I sure didn't know much about what I was doing. I just answered the questions to the best of my ability.

What is the Ticket To Work Program?
The Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program is an employment program for people with disabilities who are interested in going to work.  Employment Team-Ticket to Work
Ticket To Work Maximus

The Ticket Program is part of the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999, legislation designed to remove many of the barriers that previously influenced people’s decisions about going to work because of the concerns over losing health care coverage.

The goal of the Ticket Program is to increase opportunities and choices for Social Security disability beneficiaries to obtain employment, vocational rehabilitation (VR), and other support services from public and private providers, employers, and other organizations.

One employment Network AA Take Charge will let you keep 75 percent of your SSI, For Three Years.

Questions and Answers

There are many other Enployment Networks. Each offers a different kind of service.

Updated ♥Lakota Children Taken♥ Petition To Keep Them With Their Families♥








Lakota Child Rescue Project Please Sign The Petition Here Only takes 1 minute.

Get someone you know to sign the petition too. If everyone signs and has a friend sign the petition, we can reach the goal of 100,000!


Every additional signature, further impacts the Native Foster Care discussion in Washington DC.

The petition can influence potential funding that would be essential for South Dakota’s Tribes to move forward to develop Child and Family Service Programs!

With significant help from A Positive Tomorrow, two South Dakota tribes have been awarded Title IV-E Federal Planning Grants, each worth $300,000, to begin planning the infrastructure of their own child and family planning service programs. This is a great victory for the Standing Rock and Oglala Sioux Tribes as they can now create a foster care run by Lakota, for Lakota children.

In addition to this, five other tribes have applied for the Title IV-E Grants this year, and although they have not received such grants, the Lakota People's Law Project has not lost hope and will be calling an inter-agency meeting with the Department of Justice, the Department of Interior, and Health and Human Services in Washington DC later this month. At this meeting, the funds will be requested so that Lower Brule, Flandreau, Crow Creek, Cheyenne River, and Yankton tribes can begin the process towards the creation of their own foster care system.

Thank you to everyone who has signed the petition. 50,000 Signatures, so far!

Lakota People's Law Project Problems and Solutions

This short film; “Hearts on the Ground.” Film director; Kalyanee Mam, documents South Dakota’s Forced Taking of Lakota Children. Free the Lakota Children! 

The video, is at the center of a new “Bring Lakota Children Home” Campaign. The epidemic of child taking by the State of South Dakota is tearing thousands of Lakota Sioux families apart.

The campaign, on behalf of thousands of Lakota Sioux families whose children have illegally and forcibly been removed from their families and tribes, demands that President Obama compel the Department of Justice to enforce the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) of 1978, and stop the State of South Dakota’s war on Lakota children.

Every day, Lakota Grandmothers are illegally denied their right to foster their own grandchildren.

The South Dakota Department of Social Services rejects grandmothers for such trivial reasons as too few rooms in a home, too small of a home, too old, decades old crimes, and even rumors.

South Dakota continues to violate the federal law by placing 90% of the 750 Lakota foster children it seizes each year into non-Native homes and facilities, instead of with relatives or tribal homes.

Both federal law and the United Nations define this behavior as genocide. Only tribal programs are placing foster children with their relatives.

President Obama has the authority to order three federal agencies (the Department of the Interior, the Department of Justice and Department of Health and Human Services), to provide resources to train and develop tribal family service programs and foster care systems for the nine Lakota Sioux tribal Councils.

Within a short time, the $60 million in federal funds that currently go to the State of South Dakota’s Department of Social Services to illegally remove Indian children and force them into foster care, can instead be spent and managed by the tribes, as they work to keep children with relatives, while restoring tribal sovereignty.

Lakota children are more than ten times more likely to be forcibly removed from their parents and comprise about 60% of all foster children in the state.

In more than 90% of the cases, simply alleged “neglect,” as opposed to sexual or physical abuse, is given as the reason for the forced taking, sometimes at gunpoint, sometimes while at school, or in the middle of the night. Poverty equals “neglect” in the mind of the State workers.

What is happening to Lakota children and families in South Dakota today is precisely the sort of activity that Congress intended to stop when it passed the Indian Child Welfare Act. 

The Act mandates; that when states remove Native American children from their parents, they must be placed with relatives from their extended family, or with other members of their tribe, or with members of other tribes.

Only; when an active effort for such placements fail, are states allowed to place Native Americans in white foster homes, or state run foster care facilities
.
The Department of Social Services in South Dakota continues to deny child placements to willing and capable relatives, while “stripping” parents of all parental rights to ever see their children again, for “violations” as trivial as failing to show up at parenting classes.

South Dakota designates every Native child in its foster care system as “special needs,” receiving up to $79,000 from the federal government for their care annually.


Then forcing many to take mind-altering drugs, even some as young at 18 months of age. Medicare spending for foster care child prescriptions in South Dakota increased more than 1,000 percent in the recent decade, while suicide rates for young Lakota children are 12 times the national average, and among the highest in the world. Some of the suicides are clearly related to the forced medications.

More than a century after being forced from their ancestral lands onto reservations, the 70,000 members of the Lakota Sioux nation remain the poorest, most oppressed people in the United States.

Let's turn around 150 years of cruel abuse to Lakota families.
Thanks!
