Who can help me better understand the Ticket to Work (TTW)?
Work Incentives Planning and Assistance (WIPA) The goal of the Work Incentives Planning and Assistance (WIPA) Program is to assist SSA`s beneficiaries with disabilities to make informed choices about work. The WIPA program replaced the Benefits Planning, Assistance and Outreach program effective October 1, 2006. Each WIPA Project has Community Work Incentives Coordinators who will: • Provide work incentives planning and assistance directly to SSA`s beneficiaries with disabilities to assist them in their employment efforts; • Conduct outreach efforts in collaboration with SSA’s Program Manager for Recruitment and Outreach contractor to beneficiaries with disabilities (and their families), who are potentially eligible to participate in Federal or State work incentives programs; • Work in cooperation with Federal, State, and private agencies and nonprofit organizations that serve beneficiaries with disabilities; • Screen and refer beneficiaries with disabilities to appropriate Employment
