Benefits Counseling

The Minnesota AIDS Project's benefits counselor provides education, assistance and advocacy to individuals or service providers who have HIV–related concerns or questions about Social Security, Medicare, Medical Assistance, or private disability and health insurance.

Benefits counseling can assist HIV–positive individuals who are considering leaving a job or have back–to–work questions, are interested in a benefits check–up, or are experiencing problems with benefits. This program is available statewide through in–person or phone appointments.
