ILLINOIS SPECIFIC: WORK INCENTIVES SUPPORT CENTER (WISC)
Since its inception, Health & Disability Advocates has been working with advocates, providers, states and federal agencies to improve employment services and supports for people with disabilities. As part of its Work Incentives Support Center (WISC), HDA coordinates a statewide working group listserve to speak to issues facing people with disabilities who want to return to work. This listserve addresses, among other issues: pending federal legislation that impacts the Social Security Administration's work incentive programs; Medicaid waivers that could help people buy-in to Medicaid; and how the Workforce Investment Act can impact people with disabilities.
WISC has also developed numerous materials on issues relevant to work incentives. To see a complete list of WISC materials click here.
If you are interested in joining the listserve, please call HDA at 312-223-9600, or E-mail us at hda@hdadvocates.org and we will put you on our WISC mailing list.
