Here in the Metro Office of the Disability Linkage Line, we have been very busy. Not only answering calls but we have 3 outreach sites in the area. The first outreach site is at the Rondo Library, the second site is at the North Branch Library and the third site is at the Central Library. One of the DLL Options Counselor’s will meet with people on a one on one bases. Each of these sites has been truly successful in connecting with consumers with information, referrals and assistance.

The Northern Disability Linkage Line office now has service access sites in Bemidji.  DLL staff will be available at two new locations three times a month to offer benefits planning assistance and to answer disability-related questions.  DLL staff will be available the 3rd Wednesday of every month at the Bemidji Workforce Center and every 2nd and 4th Thursday at the Bemidji library.  For more information call the Disability Linkage Line at 1-866-333-2466.
