Ally is a military spouse, family advocate, and substitute teacher in Arlington, Virginia. During her many years of activism, Ally shaped and developed policy for the Virginia Department of Education as part of the Military Child Education Coalition and was selected for U.S. Senator Tim Kaine's Military Family Roundtable, which informed the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee on various issues affecting military families. Ally has been with REACT DC since the beginning, from day one of Home Setups to serving as our Family Services Specialist to her current position as REACT DC's REACTcore Program Manager. Hameed joined the React DC Team in February 2022, overseeing the Employment Department and managing the employment program to directly support React DC's clients in job acquisition in order to become self-sufficient.

After leaving Afghanistan, Mohammad crossed Iran on foot with his ailing sister on his back, lived as a refugee in Turkey for four years, had his departure delayed due to the COVID pandemic and finally arrived in the US in the fall of 2021. His family was one of the first REACT DC beneficiaries and within months he had become the head of household at the age of 21, working multiple jobs, teaching himself to drive and learning English at a breathtaking pace. After overcoming incredible odds and enduring devastating heartbreak, Mohammad inspires everyone he meets with his positive attitude, quick smile and desire to serve his community and fellow Afghan brothers and sisters as a Case Aide with a local resettlement agency where he quickly promoted through the ranks due to his determination, work ethic and engaging demeanor.

Welcome to another episode of Service Before Self Podcast. In today's episode, the focus is on an issue that does not receive the visibility and attention it deserves: the challenges that disabled veterans face in finding meaningful employment.   When thinking about disabled veterans it is common to refer to those who were wounded in combat, but that is only part of the picture, there are 4.7 million veterans and 20% of them have some type of service-connected disability and its level varies across this population. There are many challenges that disabled veterans are facing but most of them are related to difficulties trying to find employment. Additionally, employers and community-based organizations struggle with understanding the resources and policies that are in place to support them in hiring disabled Americans, including disabled veterans.    Today, Sam Whitehurst, your host, talks with Louis Orslene, Supervisory Policy Advisor in the Office of Disability and Employment Policy from the Department of Labor, an agency within DOL that is focused on helping employers and organizations support not only disabled veterans, but disabled Americans writ large. Louis is sharing some of the policies, programs, and practices that are creating opportunities for those that are disabled and how organizations and communities can more effectively integrate those with disabilities, including disabled veterans, into the workforce.   Key Takeaways: [7:19] Louis talks about the Office of Disability Employment Policy. [11:40] Louis talks about the veterans who use the job accommodation network. [12:05] Employers have to be prepared for the inclusion of veterans. [14:10] Louis talks about the challenges veterans face in reaching their full potential in and out of the workplace. [17:30] Louis talks about the employment barriers for people with disabilities and the three major reasons. [21:42] Louis talks about the main mental challenges and impairments caused by COVID-19. [22:34] Louis presents the Mental Health Tool Kit the Office of Disability Employment Policy has implemented. [24:30] Louis explains how many people with disabilities and mental health conditions have been benefited during the pandemic. [25:40] What are some of the ways that ODEP could help local leaders address the challenges that disabled employees might have in the workforce? [30:18] Louis shares tips for people looking to help someone with a disability who is looking for employment or an employer who is looking for that talent. [33:44] Sam talks about the Clear2Connect Coalition   Mentioned in this episode: Dixon Center: Reaching America At Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services, we believe our veterans and military families can succeed where they live. Dixon Center is named after Staff Sergeant Donnie Dixon, who was killed in action on September 29, 2007, in Iraq. Staff Sergeant Dixon was a father, husband, and Soldier who always placed the mission first and the safety of his fellow Soldiers above his own. Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services stands as a testament to his example and leadership. Dixon Center on Facebook Dixon Center on Twitter Dixon Center on Instagram   Tweetables and quotes: “The path of isolation among veterans usually begins with poor employment opportunities.”   “Veterans tend not to relate very well to the word disability since there is a stigma that relates it to a weakness.”   “Many people with disabilities and mental health conditions have really benefited during the pandemic.”

After months of congressional disagreement and a last-minute veto threat from President Donald Trump, the federal government passed a new COVID-19 relief bill in late December. There was concern that the bill's late passage would cause as many as 70,000 Oregonians to see a lapse in benefit payments for the end of December. But the U.S. Department of Labor and Sen. Ron Wyden said benefits won't lapse after all. We talk with David Gerstenfeld, interim director of the Oregon Employment Department, about when the new relief money will reach Oregonians.

Now, even with those delays, it’s unclear the state will get the job done and ensure unemployed Oregonians receive critical payments during the pandemic. On the first half of the show, politics reporter Hillary Borrud explains the slow road to the sudden crisis.

On the last OPB report I heard, they said out of Oregon's 400,000 newly unemployed, 100,000 are gig economy workers like me. Of those 100,000, only 30,000 have so far gotten responses -- including rejections, such as the one I received in June, two months after I first applied. Since then, every time I call the special PUA number they set up, it is always busy. The sound of a failed state.

The crisis has culminated in Kay Erickson, the department's director, resigning under pressure this weekend.Related reading:Department director resigns under pressure200,000 backlog in paid claimsOther states are doing different things to meet the pandemic pressureOregon's computer system is a costly failure See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
