San Marcos, Texas, April 4, 2005 – ResCare Premier, a leading national provider of programs and services for persons with acquired brain injury, today announces an expansion of its on-going commitment to educating, informing and interacting with families, caregivers, and rehabilitation professionals. ResCare Premier will host an all day seminar, Benefits and Employment in 2005 – Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and SSI: How to earn significant income and protect medical benefits presented by Michael Walling of Walling and Associates, Inc. Mr. Walling is a nationally respected speaker on the subjects of public benefit programs, how income affects benefit programs, and how to protect benefits. The seminar will be held on April 07, 2005 at the La Quinta Inn, 1619 I-35 North, San Marcos Texas 78666. To register, please call 610.696.1551.

“ResCare Premier is one of the largest providers in the United States and Ontario of services to individuals with acquired brain injury who are funded by federal, state, provincial and county resources,” states Beth Hearne, Director of Marketing and Admissions for ResCare Premier, “We regularly provide services to individuals in the United States who rely on Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, Medicare, and Medicaid for support and sustenance. Understanding these benefits is a critical necessity for many of the people we serve.”

This seminar comes on the heels of the most recent issue of Premier Outlook [Volume V, Issue 1] entitled Inadequate by Any Measure: Public Funding for Brain Injury, an 84 page overview of many of the public sector options available to individuals with acquired brain injury. According to Robert Pierce, CBIS, and Nicole Crow, Program Directors at ResCare Premier’s Texas operations, “It became clear while researching our Perception & Reality article, Plain Talk: An Overview of Public Funding for Brain Injury, that there was a significant need for even the most basic information about Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and SSI and that we could only scratch the surface in our article.”

Susie Woitas, Manager of Admissions for ResCare Premier Texas, worked with the editorial board of Premier Outlook to find a knowledgeable partner to work with us to bring this information to the public. After attending Mr. Walling’s seminar, Ms. Woitas enthusiastically recommended him. “Almost all of ResCare Premier’s educational seminars are made available to the general public at no charge,” says Ms. Woitas, “In this case the specialized nature of the information is worth the $75.00 early registration fee and you can’t beat Mr. Walling’s money back guarantee.”
