What is the Disability 20 (D20)?

As America marks its 250th anniversary, the D20 is bringing the disability community to the table uniting disabled leaders, advocates, and allies to ensure disability rights, access, and representation are part of the story. 2026 is more than a milestone year. It's an opportunity to shape the next chapter of disability inclusion across the globe.

The SSA adjusts the limits for SSI and SSDI annually which can be difficult to navigate.

With new SSI payment amounts and higher Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) limits, many people with disabilities can earn more and keep critical benefits — if they understand how the rules work together.

That’s where Disability Benefits 101 (DB101) comes in.
DB101 helps you:
✔️ Understand how SSI, SSDI, work, and health coverage interact
✔️ See how earning more may affect your benefits before you take a job or raise
✔️ Make informed decisions using clear, plain-language tools — not guesswork

The 2026 updates matter — but how you navigate them matters more.
DB101 turns policy changes into practical planning.

We are proud to announce that Global Alliance for Disaster Resource Acceleration (GADRA) has been selected as a Zero Project Awardee 2026.

This year’s awards focus on Accessibility, ICT, and Crisis Response, and our innovative work has earned recognition among 163 outstanding solutions, selected from 586 hashtag nominations across 93 countries. We are proud to stand alongside organizations from every continent that are driving progress in disability inclusion.

Our initiative addresses the need to fill the gap when disability-led organizations are left out of funding and planningby connecting disability-led organizations actively responding to disasters with partners and resources, before, during, and after disasters. We look forward to the next stages: connecting with the global community, exchanging ideas, and learning from others.

We are honoured to see our work highlighted among global innovations that make a meaningful impact. As part of this recognition, we will present our innovation at the Zero Project Conference 2026, taking place from February 18-20 at the United Nations Office in Vienna. More than 1,000 participants from around 100 countries are expected to attend.
