This panel will explore key public benefit programs including Social Security, SNAP, Medicaid, Medicare, and the EPD Waiver. Panelists will discuss the challenges clients face in accessing these benefits and the critical role pro bono attorneys can play in helping individuals navigate complex systems. Whether it’s advocating during administrative hearings, assisting with applications, or supporting appeals, pro bono attorneys are essential in ensuring vulnerable populations receive the support they need.
This event is best suited for lawyers working in private practice, legal services, the government, or as in-house or corporate counsel. We also encourage law students, non-lawyer professionals, and members of the community to join.
