FEATURED PROGRAM: Nebraska AgrAbility

Nebraska AgrAbility supports farmers and ranchers impacted by health conditions or disabilities by recommending devices and techniques that promote continued work in agriculture. This includes modifying farm and ranch tasks, adapting equipment, increasing farmstead accessibility, providing financial guidance, identifying funding sources and coordinating community services.

Easterseals Nebraska's Rural Rehabilitation Specialists have an in-depth understanding of the labor, equipment and management requirements of Nebraska livestock and grain operations, in addition to the unique issues surrounding self-employment and rural living.

Since 1995, Nebraska AgrAbility has assisted over 600 farmers and ranchers in maintaining their livelihood in agriculture.

Thank you for supporting Nebraskans of all abilities.

Nebraska Alternative Financing Program provides low interest loans for the purchase of assistive technology devices and services that help individuals with disabilities maintain or increase their independence.

Benefits Planning and Work Incentives Counseling services assist Social Security disability beneficiaries ages 14 to full retirement in understanding how federal disability cash (SSDI/SSI), healthcare (Medicare/Medicaid) and other public benefits are impacted by income from work, providing the assurances needed to make informed decisions about working while disabled. This service also helps individuals identify and strategically use state/federal work incentives that best align with their work goals.

Ticket to Work is an employment services program designed for disability beneficiaries ages 18-64 that are currently receiving SSDI or SSI cash benefits to obtain, maintain or advance in employment. An Opportunity Consultant can assist individuals participating in the Ticket to Work program by delivering career planning, goal setting, resume preparation, job search assistance, community resource navigation and follow along support, including benefits education, healthcare planning and work incentive advisement.
