The Council Presents: Using DB101 to Manage Work and Benefits
Description
Work incentives are special rules that allow people receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to work without losing their monthly cash and medical benefits. North Carolina’s Work Incentive Planning and Assistance (WIPA) program helps people with disabilities make informed decisions about work, benefits and the use of work incentives to achieve their employment goals.
NC DB101, sponsored by the NC Division of Employment and Independence for People with Disabilities, is a tool to motivate and support employment as a means to become financially empowered. It offers much of the information that disability benefits counselors do, as well as some additional benefits, such as:
- Employment Support and Resources
- Financial Empowerment
- Independent Philosophy
- A DB101 Estimator that allows individuals to input scenarios to learn about what happens to personal benefits if work is desired.
DB101 also provides upfront benefits information without needing an appointment, 7 days per week, 24 hours per day.
