Work Incentives Planning and Assistance (WIPA)

Get Started

If you are receiving Social Security disability cash benefits or Supplemental Security Income based on disability and are working or have plans to start working, you are eligible to receive our free Work Incentives Planning and Assistance services.  Please complete the Request for Services form (choose electronic or print version below) and both Social Security Administration Consent for Release of Information forms listed below and mail or fax them to us as soon as possible.  If you would like a printable brochure about MMC WIPA services for your reference, click here

First, choose one:

MMC WIPA Online Request for Services

OR

MMC WIPA Printable Request for Services

Next, complete two SSA Consent for Release of Information Forms:

 Please do not add or change the wording in any way .  Your name, date of birth, Social Security Number and signature are the only areas to fill in your individual information. If you have a legal guardian, that person should also sign the forms. Please send these two completed releases along with the MMC WIPA Request for Services form in order to begin the process to meet with a CWIC.

Social Security Administration Consent for Release of Information- Form A    

Social Security Administration Consent for Release of Information- Form B     

You will hear back from us to coordinate an appointment as soon as possible after we receive and process these forms.  The forms allow us to verify the benefits you receive from Social Security; without the forms we cannot give you the most accurate information.  In most cases, it takes at least a month to hear back from us, however, please call in the meantime if you get a job or have other specific questions.
