Many people living with MS rely on government programs—for access to health care, disability benefits, and other services. The National MS Society and MS activists nationwide work to ensure those services are beneficial, accessible, and fair. Our efforts focus on the following programs and many more:
- Medicare
- Medicaid: Alaska, Montana, Washington
- Social Security Disability
If you’re having trouble getting what you need from a government program or other service, check out our self advocacy tools. Self advocacy means speaking up for oneself. This includes all the basics about how to advocate for yourself, plus principles and practical tips to help you succeed.
