ANNOTATION: "This report describes the experiences of three sites - state of New York, the city of Philadelphia, and the State of Texas - that help prison or jail inmates prepare and file pre-release applications to initiate or restart Federal disability benefits" (p. 1). Sections comprising this report are: report highlights; introduction; Federal entitlement benefits; benefits strategies for inmates in the three sites; obtaining benefits for severely ill inmates -- lessons from the sites' experience; and final thoughts. Application assistance is just one part, although a very important one, of a comprehensive discharge plan.
