EmploymentRelated Outcomes of a Recent Cohort of Work Incentives Planning and Assistance WIPA Program Enrollees

This report presents findings of an analysis of beneficiaries who first enrolled for Work Incentives Planning and Assistance services between October 1, 2009, and March 31, 2010. The findings suggest that the program is serving a select group of beneficiaries who are actively working, seeking employment, using the Social Security Administration work incentive provisions, and leaving the disability rolls at relatively high rates. The findings also suggest that Work Incentives Planning and Assistance services might be positively affecting some of these employment outcomes.
