WorkWORLD, Work Incentives, and Asset Building Strategies
A Two-Part Preconference Session at the Virginia Transition Forum
(separate registration required)

A two-part pre-conference session on SSI/SSDI Work Incentives will be offered at the Virginia Transition Forum this year!  This exciting event on Sunday evening and Monday morning, March 11-12, will involve a review of available work incentives for youth receiving SSI/SSDI benefits.  We will also discuss concerns relating to loss of benefits as a result of earned income and common myths. The first session will cover WorkWorld benefit analysis software and offer on-site use of the website with experts on hand to answer your questions.  The second half of this session will provide an overview of Individual Development Accounts and how they can be used to build assets beyond the standard $2,000 limit.   

Target audience is:

    • Parents/guardians of transitioning students who may receive SSI/SSDI and want to work
    • Project SEARCH participants who may receive SSI/SSDI, family members, and staff
    • Agency professionals working with SSI/SSDI beneficiaries who want to work
    • Education professionals specializing in school-to-work transition
