Work Incentive Planning & Assistance National Training Center (WIPA-NTC)

To achieve this purpose, the program uses a highly skilled and rigorously trained cadre of CWICs to provide individual counseling to beneficiaries seeking employment and intensive follow-up services to ensure that the beneficiaries are using the work incentives appropriately, that they have been connected to employment service programs in their community, and that they are communicating their work activities to the Social Security Administration. CWICs in local WIPA programs work with individual beneficiaries to explain the myriad of regulations, provisions, work incentives and special programs that complicate an individual’s decision to enter or reenter the workforce.
