Children's Benefits Access Project
for Los Angeles County
The purpose of the Children's Benefits Access Project is to educate the families of children with disabilities in Los Angeles County who may be eligible for public programs, and the professionals that work with them, about the responsibilities of governmental entities to provide them with health care and related services.
To accomplish this goal, the Disability Rights Legal Center published the Children's Benefits Access Guide, an online resource that provides a comprehensive listing and explanation of health care and related benefits for children with disabilities in Los Angeles County.
Children's Benefits Access Guide:
The Children's Benefits Access Guide is a comprehensive listing and explanation of health care and related benefits for children with disabilities in Los Angeles County. The Guide features helpful telephone numbers, website links, explanations of new developments related to the state budget, flowcharts and other useful information, all in one easy to locate resource. Readers can look up information in different ways, learning about the programs through the Q&A chapters, as well as the charts describing benefits.
The Guide was funded by L.A. Care Health Plan, the nation's largest public health plan, and will benefit low-income and uninsured residents of Los Angeles County. (See below for further information).
