Reminder about Insurance

State Services for the Blind should be a certificate holder listed on your insurance. This automatically sends a copy or renewed insurance to us. We are asking during monitoring reviews for current proof of insurance. Community Partners who renew their insurance should check if we are listed and if not, we should be added. If it is that time of the year to renew your insurance, please send a copy along to us. If you are emailing a copy to us, please send it to ssbcontracts.deed@state.mn.us.

State Services for the Blind provides tools and training for employment, living independently, and accessing print. We assist Minnesotans who are blind, DeafBlind, experiencing vision loss, or have difficulty accessing the printed word.
