What if I want to work on disability?
What if I get better and want to try to work?
There are Work Incentives Planning and Assistance Programs (WIPAs) around the country that provide free services designed to help you try to work and look for work while still receiving your benefits. Even if you are able to work for an extended period and then lose benefits, you may be able to get an “expedited reinstatement” of your benefits if you soon become ill again and unable to work. We encourage our former clients who call us to ask about work to do several things. They should look into the “Ticket to Work” Program offered by Social Security. While using the tickle, you don’t risk Social Security reviewing your entitlement again. We also direct our former clients to the local WIPA. These are community-based organizations designed to assist folks on Social Security Benefits to get back into the workforce. You can locate the WIPA project nearest to you by calling 1-866-968-7842. You can also go on line for that information at
