People with Disabilities and the Affordable Care Act :

If you’re living with a disability, private health insurance may be hard to come by. Even if you can afford to buy it, it probably doesn’t cover all of your needs. Worrying about where to get c overage and the cost of your care is the last thing you want to do. The Affordable Care Act is expanding your options for health insurance and making them more affordable.

Top Things to Know for people with Disabilities:

Under the health care law, job-based and new individual plans are no longer allowed to deny or exclude coverage to any child under age 19 based on a pre-existing condition, including a disability.

Starting in 2014, these same plans won’t be able to exclude anyone from coverage or charge a higher premium for a pre-existing condition including a disability.

Insurance companies can no longer drop you when you get sick just because you made a mistake on your coverage application.

Insurance companies can no longer impose lifetime dollar limits on your coverage.

Medicaid covers many people with disabilities now, and in the future it will provide insurance to even more Americans. Starting in 2014, most adults under age 65 with incomes up to about $15,000.00 per year for a single individual (higher income for couple/families with children) will qualify for Medicaid in every state. State Medicaid programs will be also be able to offer additional services to help those who need long –term care at home and in the community.

ReStore, Minot's Finest Thrift Store

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 00:00:00 GMT

With three to do lists running through my head, as I ran in the back door to work. I also had the after work list running through my head. That makes to many lists. I wasn’t sure which one I should get started on first. I picked the shortest list to get started on. The never ending lists, I wonder where they all come from.

Later that morning I spoke with one of the wisest people I know and she reminded me that I work somewhere where “you can have a little fun.” It wasn’t until the drive home that I realized that in focusing on our ever growing to do list, to get done lists for the day, after work and tomorrow I had forgotten to stop and enjoy the things that make what we do great. Whether it be taking a few minutes to listen to someone whom you have helped succeed, the milestone they made in their own lives as their own to do, to get done lists have almost overtaken them, or just to put on your singing turkey hat to laugh a while.

So if you cannot find some one to listen to, or inspire you, you may need to stop into ReStore to find your own singing turkey hat or that special something to tickle your gizzards.

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT

Recoveree Connection is through a contract from the North Dakota Department Division of Drug & Alcohol. Recoveree Connection contacts people who have requested support in their recovery from substance abuse. Participants are offered enrollment by an addiction service provider, parole or probation officer, or by self referral. Recoverees specify the days and times they would like to receive calls. Volunteers call and visit with participants to see how they are doing. Volunteers have a resource manual that includes information on local support groups, treatment centers, counseling offices, and on line recovery sites.

Over 6,000 people in North Dakota will receive treatment for drug and alcohol problems in the current calendar year. Many of the Recoverees relapse within the first three or four months. The main objective of the Recoveree Connection is to help people through that crucial first phase of recovery.

Recoveree Connection calls are based on one person talking to another person sharing help, hope, support and resources to make a good start in the changing process of recovery. Recoveree Connection is always looking for volunteers!

Fri, 25 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT

This program is on its second year due to the overwhelming need and success. So many past participants are very thankful for given the opportunity to participate in this program. Some of those, whom have never worked, currently employed or have had a history of unsuccessful employment.

The Job Ready Program is aimed at creating a greater awareness of appropriate work place behavior and etiquette, to produce higher success rates for job seekers and also for those whom are currently employed. All employers are looking for someone who is dependable, flexible, positive attitude, creative, honest, trustworthy, motivated, experienced, can problem solve, be a team player and most importantly is willing to learn.

The program is very adaptable and is designed to accommodate a wide variety of areas of improvement. It’s a three week training which is individualized for each participant to help them develop skills needed to be successful at work. We also incorporate one-on-one appointments with each participant so they may practice their interviewing skills and in return gain more confidence.
