Tips for Identifying a WIPA Services Candidate-2011
The primary objective of the WIPA program is to promote employment and enhance self-sufficiency for beneficiaries of the SSA disability programs through the provision of work incentives planning and assistance services.
A strong candidate for WIPA services must first be eligible for services. To be eligible, all a beneficiary has to meet are the basic criteria required by the Social Security Administration:
· at least age 14, but not yet full retirement age,
· disabled per SSA’s definition, and
· already receiving Social Security benefits based on disability (SSI or a title II disability benefit such as SSDI, CDB or DWB).
