Work Incentive Benefit Specialists assist people with disabilities by helping them navigate the choices and options around work and their public benefits. Benefit specialists can provide an overview of a person’s services and benefits and how work will impact their cash payments, medical coverage, and continued eligibility.
If you have a disability, you should contact a benefits specialist when:
- You are considering work for the first time or re-entering the workforce.
- Your earnings change or increase.
- You are developing a career plan or actively job seeking.
- You have questions, concerns, or problems with current benefits.
