Chapel Haven is seeking a Benefits Coordinator to oversee the day-to-day management of a caseload of 50–100 community members who subscribe to our Benefits Maintenance Service. The Benefits Coordinator will work closely with families, colleagues, and various federal, state, and local agencies—including the Social Security Administration, Connecticut Department of Social Services, Department of Developmental Services, and Department of Housing Section 8—to process and maintain benefits.
This role requires strong attention to detail, compliance with reporting deadlines, and effective communication to ensure the seamless continuation of benefits for the individuals we serve. If you are a detail-oriented professional with experience in benefits administration and a passion for helping individuals maintain their entitlements, we encourage you to apply.
Bachelor’s degree in Social Work, Human Services, or a related field preferred; equivalent experience in benefits coordination, case management, or processing benefit redeterminations may be considered.
Do not meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women, LGBTQ+, and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. If you are excited about this role but your experience does not align perfectly, we encourage you to apply. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles at Chapel Haven!
