Dear Friends,

In honor of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, this Friday, October 24, I invite you to join the Labor Department (@USDOL) and the Social Security Administration for a live Twitter Chat on our efforts to improve employment opportunities for millions of qualified workers with disabilities.

I will be tweeting along with my colleagues from DOL’s OFCCP and SSA’s Ticket to Work about Section 503 and what these rules mean for you. We will also share resources for employers and discuss work incentives and the value of employment.

Join us on Friday, October 24 at 12:00 PM EDT using #DEchat.

New to Twitter Chats? No problem. Twitter chats are easy ways for people to have a public conversation about a particular topic. To join, go to Twitter.com and search for the hashtag “#DEchat.” Follow the hashtag, or chime in by tweeting a question or comment with “#DEchat” added to your tweets.

You can also submit your questions in advance by using that same hashtag or by sending an e-mail to OFCCP-Public@dol.gov. If you can’t make it to the chat, a full recap will be posted on the DOL blog next week.

I look forward to tweeting with you!

Sincerely,

Kathy Martinez

Assistant Secretary

Office of Disability Employment Policy
