Erin Hartung, Director of Legal Services at Cancer Legal Care, and Meghan Scully, Managing Attorney of Cancer Legal Care’s Social Security Application Assistance Program, join host Ken Haglind on “Living Healthy and Aging Well” to discuss Cancer Legal Care’s services and talk about employment transitions and financial hardships that can happen with a cancer diagnosis. In the United States, 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with a cancer in their lifetime, and as a result many will face financial devastation known as “financial toxicity.” For many, being unable to work due to cancer is a main reason why financial toxicity happens but knowing how to protect or supplement your income can help preserve your financial wellbeing. Cancer Legal Care aims to reduce financial toxicity and engages the law to resolve the complex issues facing people and communities affected by cancer. They help Minnesotans facing cancer, and their caregivers, with cancer-related issues like employment, estate planning, Social Security benefits, health insurance, and medical debt.
