Self-Employment And Social Security Disability Benefits - 2011

Available formats:    Word   |    PDF


Self-employment is an increasingly popular employment objective for individuals with disabilities since it offers both significant flexibility as well as earnings potential.  State VR agencies and ENs are supporting a growing number of beneficiaries who are pursuing a self-employment goal and the volume of WIPA referrals on self-employment cases has also increased significantly in the past few years.  Now more than ever, CWICs need to develop specific expertise in handling self-employment cases and must be skilled at counseling self-employed beneficiaries on benefits issues.
