Work Incentive Planning and Assistance (WIPA) projects are funded by the Social Security
Administration (SSA) to provide information and benefits planning to enable beneficiaries with
disabilities to make informed choices about work. WIPA projects hire and train Community
Work Incentives Coordinators (CWICs) who work with individuals receiving Social Security
Disability Insurance (SSDI) and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to provide in-depth
counseling about benefits and the effect of work on those benefits.
Who Is Eligible to Receive Services?
WIPA services are available to individuals eligible for Social Security disability benefits AND
working, looking for work or thinking about returning to work.
Note: Social Security Disability benefits include Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social
Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), and Social Security Childhood Disability Benefits
(SSCDB), also known as Social Security Disabled Adult Child (SSDAC).
Return to work services, including WIPA projects can be found through SSA’s Choose Work
website search engine. Go to http://www.choosework.net/resource/jsp/searchByState.jsp and
