Online Dialogue on Advancing Financial Equity for Individuals with Disabilities Now Open for Participation
The U.S. Department of Labor and ePolicyWorks are hosting a virtual crowdsourcing event seeking ideas to help improve economic and financial outcomes for people with disabilities
Now through November 15, members of the public are invited to join the national online dialogue on “Advancing Financial Equity for Individuals with Disabilities.” Hosted by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)’s Office of Disability Employment Policy and the Employee Benefits Security Administration, this virtual town hall is gathering ideas to help inform future content enhancements to Secure Your Financial Future: A Toolkit for Individuals with Disabilities and help the department create equitable opportunities for employment and financial empowerment for people with disabilities, particularly those from underserved communities.

Whether preparing for a job, starting a job, maintaining a job, changing or losing a job, or retiring from a job, these crowdsourced contributions will help DOL identify:
- New information and resources to include in the toolkit;
- Ways to address underserved and marginalized populations; and
- Frequently asked employment-related financial questions and helpful resources.
In conjunction with the online dialogue, ePolicyWorks and DOL will be hosting a Twitter chat on November 10 from 3-4 p.m. ET to continue the conversation and engage with featured guests and the public. You can join the chat in real-time on Twitter by following “#EPWChat” on November 10.
