A Deaf man who had lost his job came to us recently saying he had not been receiving his unemployment insurance for 8 long months. NorCal staff were able to contact the right people to sort out his unemployment insurance and now he receives those payments which allow him to keep his apartment and independence while we assist him in finding a new job.

Pictured here is our Employment Outreach staffers at a career fair for Deaf and hard of hearing high school students at ARC last Week!
