¿Le han entregado la documentación de desalojo (una citación y una demanda por apropiación ilegal)? ¡Es posible que solo tengas cinco días para responder! En esta clínica, los asistentes que busquen ayuda para responder una queja por retención ilegal (desalojo) serán guiados a través del Tenant Power Toolkit (www.tenantpowertookit.org) para completar los formularios judiciales necesarios.
Los participantes deben traer su Citación y Denuncia-Retención Ilícita al taller.
Este taller cubre:
- Cómo utilizar el Tenant Power Toolkit para inquilinos
- Cómo identificar defensas contra el desalojo y completar alegatos de respuesta
- Cómo solicitar una exención de tarifas
- Cómo utilizar Tenant Power Toolkit para encontrar apoyo legal
La herramienta de respuesta a desalojos funcionará para inquilinos que viven en cualquier lugar de California a quienes se les haya entregado una citación y una demanda por retención ilegal. Los inquilinos del condado de Los Ángeles (si califican para una exención de tarifas y están dentro de la fecha límite de presentación) tendrán la opción de que sus documentos se presenten electrónicamente ante la corte. Todos los demás inquilinos tendrán que presentar los documentos que crea el Toolkit en persona, en el juzgado que figura en su citación y demanda.

Join us for an informative presentation hosted in partnership with the Social Security Administration (SSA) to learn about Social Security disability benefits, the application process, appeals, and the transition to adult benefits.
Topics will include:
• SSI Disability Benefits: An overview of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability benefits, including basic medical and financial eligibility requirements, available benefit types, the application process, required documentation, and options for filing online, by phone, or through a local Social Security office.
• Initial Disability Applications: Information on starting a disability claim, including how to complete the application, provide medical evidence and work-history information, identify treating providers, respond to Social Security requests, and understand what to expect while the claim is under review.
• Appeals Process: An explanation of the steps available when a disability claim is denied, including reconsideration, an Administrative Law Judge hearing, and Appeals Council review. This includes filing deadlines, submission methods, and the importance of providing additional or updated evidence.
• Age 18 Transition: Guidance for individuals receiving childhood SSI benefits as they approach age 18. This includes the age-18 redetermination process, adult disability eligibility standards, continuing disability reviews, changes in financial eligibility rules, and steps individuals and families can take to help prevent interruptions in benefits.

Have you been served with eviction paperwork (a Summons and a Complaint-Unlawful Detainer)? You may only have five days to respond! At this clinic, attendees seeking assistance with answering an unlawful detainer (eviction) complaint will be guided through the Tenant Power Toolkit (www.tenantpowertoolkit.org) to complete the necessary court forms.
Participants must bring their Summons and Complaint-Unlawful Detainer to the workshop.
This workshop covers:
- How to use the Tenant Power Toolkit
- How to identify defenses against the eviction and complete responsive pleadings
- How to request a fee waiver
- How to use the Tenant Power Toolkit to find legal support
The Eviction Answer Tool will work for tenants who live anywhere in California who have been served a Summons and Complaint-Unlawful Detainer. Tenants in LA County (if they qualify for a fee waiver and are within their filing deadline) will get the option to have their documents be filed electronically with the court. All other tenants will have to file the documents the Toolkit creates in person, at the courthouse listed on your Summons and Complaint.
