What does ODO mean in DISABILITY

The Office of Disability Operations (ODO) works to provide resources and assistance to individuals with disabilities, their families and caregivers. It also strives to protect the rights of those receiving benefits and ensure they have access to quality care, financial support, and other necessary resources.

ODO has policies in place that help protect the rights of individuals receiving disability benefits. These policy areas include privacy protections, benefit security, fair representation, advocacy on behalf of individuals with disabilities, dispute resolution processes, and grievance procedures.

ODO provides assistance to individuals with disabilities who are aged 18-64 years old who meet certain eligibility criteria based on their disability status or diagnosis. Additionally, ODO provides benefits and services to family members or legal representatives who are caring for or assisting an individual with a disability.

Yes, ODO provides financial support in the form of direct payments through programs like Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
