WEBCAST: Increasing Benefit Access through Administrative Advocacy

On October 20, 2016, we invited a panel of advocates to discuss their administrative advocacy to increase access to work supports like SNAP and Medicaid. The panel explored advocacy around enrollment and eligibility processes. The panelists shared how they approach administrative advocacy differently from other advocacy efforts, the successes they have achieved for clients, and the unique obstacles they have encountered along the way.

Panelists:
Sovereign Hager, New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty.
Vikki O’Neil, Hunger Free Colorado.
Dan Lesser, Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law.
Louise Hayes, Community Legal Services of Philadelphia.
Patricia Baker, Massachusetts Law Reform Institute.
