Plan for Work
Promoting financial independence and empowerment
What we do
If you are a Social Security disability beneficiary and would like to know how work may affect your benefits, we can provide information about work incentives to help you make informed decisions about work. You can increase your financial stability and independence, fulfillment, and community involvement. You can also gain a greater sense of purpose and give back to your community.
