I basically use policy and procedure to determine which applicants are eligible for which programs funded by the state and federal government. I determine eligibility for Food Assistance, Medicaid (medical coverage), Child Daycare, and State Disability Assistance (cash and medical coverage for individuals that are disabled from working for more than 90 days). I love that I have a job in Michigan’s economy and I love my job because I get to live my passion everyday, which is helping people become better! I chose this job because it is most definitely a stepping-stone to continue to use my passion for helping the disadvantaged!
