Using the New NYC Self-Sufficiency Benefits Calculator to Help Your Clients Obtain Work Supports
April 19 and 26, 2005
The Self-Sufficiency Calculator for the City of New York is a computer-based tool developed by the Women's Center for Education and Career Advancement (WCECA) for working adults or adults just reentering the labor market that: 1) screens income eligibility for working individuals for a variety of work supports and tax credits, 2) estimates benefit amount for work supports, 3) gives clients information on how to access these benefits, and 4) calculates how well a given wage meets a working individual's real expenses. NYCETC and WCECA co-sponsored a workshop to provide Coalition members with a hands-on training on the enhanced Self-Sufficiency Calculator and provided information on how to help low-wage workers get the supports they need to stay in the workforce.
To access the Calculator, please visit WCECA's website at http://www.wceca.org/. For more information on the Calculator, please contact Melanie Lavelle, Self-Sufficency Project Coordinator at (212) 964-8934 or by email at mlavelle@wceca.org.
