Talent Knows No Limit Project

California Health Incentives Improvement Project (CHIIP) was created in 2002, and is funded by a Medicaid Infrastructure Grant from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Sonoma State University administered the grant from 2003 to 2008. In 2004, CHIIP successfully competed for a comprehensive employment opportunity award which provided a broader mandate and increased funding for the grant period, 2005-2008. In 2009 there was a competitive solicitation and CHIIP was again awarded the grant. For more information, see: http://www.chiip.org/


CHIIP’s Talent Knows No Limits project aims to change social norms around employment of people with disabilities and to increase the number of people using work incentives such as the 250% Medi-Cal Working Disabled Program. Primary target of campaign is employers and potential employees with disabilities throughout California. Secondary targets include youth and adults with disabilities, family members, service providers, advocates, government agencies and educators. Activities include:

· Website: www.talentknowsnolimits.info

· Promotional Videos, PSAs, and web vignettes. [Employer Video; We Include Video; I Can Work]

· Local campaigns in Kern County and San Diego County

· National campaign with other MIG states: Think Beyond The Label

· Earned media placements, media training, blogging and new media
