What is it?
Work Incentives Coordination goes beyond the Benefits Analysis by addressing additional complex benefits issues and concerns. The service also includes education, guidance, and advocacy.

Who does it?
Just as with the Work Incentives Planning, these services are provided by highly skilled and rigorously trained Community Work Incentives Coordinators (CWICs). CWICs provide confidential services to Individuals with Disabilities who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and/or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).
