SSI Benefits and Work -- Parent Information Night
A Community Work Incentives Coordinator will come to our area to share information about ways that getting a job may affect the Social Security Income (SSI) and insurance benefits of your child.
The presenter works for Goodwill Keystone Area under the Work Incentives Planning & Assistance Program or WIPA program which is a program funded by Social Security.
Your child is eligible for WIPA if….
- He/She is at least 14 years old
- He/She is currently eligible for SSI or SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance)
- And, he/she is currently working or interested in working.
Work incentive programs will be discussed.
Work incentives are special rules that make it possible for people with disabilities receiving Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to work and still receive monthly payments and Medicare or Medicaid.
