Subject: Adult Asperger's social group Hi folks, I know most of you have kids who are too young for this group, but I was asked to share this information in hopes that you might be able to pass it along.

This group is looking for individuals who are 25 to 40 years old or so, and who would like to make friends and do things together. Here is a link to their website: asperger-s-syndrome-social-group.webnode.com// If you have questions, please contact Jeanette at Jbunt86306@aol.com .

Licensure Update: This week’s focus is on the waiver service “personal assistance”, which is licensed as “personal support services”. Per Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA), there are two types of “personal support services”: per TCA 33-2-403 (a) “.....The department of mental health and substance abuse services shall also license personal support services for the aged as well as persons with mental illness”, and further on “....personal support services for persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities shall be licensed by the department of intellectual and developmental disabilities”. This means that any entity licensed by DIDD to provide personal assistance to waiver participants that also provides personal support to Choices participants must have a license for that service from the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. Staff from your Regional DIDD Licensure Office can provide further clarification upon request. Contact information your Regional DIDD Licensure office can be found on the DIDD website at: www.tn.gov/didd/Licensure/Licensure.shtml

Social Security, SSI Benefits To Rise In 2014 By Michelle Diament October 30, 2013 Monthly payments will increase next year for people with disabilities receiving benefits from Social Security, including Supplemental Security Income. The Social Security Administration said Wednesday that benefits will rise by 1.5 percent in 2014. The automatic adjustment known as COLA is intended to account for higher cost-of-living and is triggered by law when inflation goes up. The change will take effect starting Dec. 31 for the nation’s 8 million SSI recipients and will begin in January for the 57 million Americans receiving Social Security. With the increase, the maximum federal benefit for an individual receiving SSI will rise from $710 per month to $721. At the same time, the federal ceiling for a couple on SSI will grow from $1,066 per month to $1,082. Many states add to SSI benefits for their residents meaning that actual payments could exceed these caps. The COLA for 2014 is similar to that seen this year when benefits rose 1.7 percent over last. Prior to that, beneficiaries saw their monthly checks increase more substantially in 2012, jumping 3.6 percent, after seeing no COLA at all in 2010 and 2011 because inflation was too low to warrant an adjustment. Federal officials were originally scheduled to release information about the COLA for 2014 weeks ago, but the announcement was delayed until now by the government shutdown.
