Introduction Many benefits and work incentives practitioners think their job is done once they have developed some sort of report that presents options a beneficiary can select from when making decisions regarding work. Research shows though that this is not enough! Practitioners need to consider the levels and types of support a beneficiary may need to make certain decisions. While a beneficiary may be able to select that they want to work at a certain level and utilize certain work incentives, they may not know where to go to access the supports necessary to aid them in finding a job or how to apply to SSA for using certain work incentives.
