Hi. Do you or someone you know receive Disability Lifeline or DL benefits, formerly know as GAU or GAX? As part of the most recent legislative session, the Washington State Legislature ended the Disability Lifeline (DL-U) cash grant. This means that as of November 1st people who were receiving financial assistance through the Disability Lifeline - Unemployable program will no longer receive any money. People will still receive medical care through a program called Medical Care Services (MCS). (People receiving DL-X will be transferred to the new ABD program, with no changes in their benefits.)
Starting in November, people enrolled in the Medical Care Services program will be eligible to receive rent and utility assistance through a new program called Housing and Essential Needs or HEN. Catholic Community Services is working in collaboration with King County and DSHS to distribute this money.
For more information, please contact Catholic Community Services HEN operators at 206-328-5755, or visit henkingcounty.org for detailed information about the program.
