What are work incentives?

Work Incentives are rules that make it possible to work and still receive monthly SSDI/SSI payments in some cases, as well as Medicare and/or Medicaid. Work incentives are specific to the benefit you receive and other details about your situation. Your CWIC will explain and help you utilize any work incentives that may be beneficial in your return to work.

The Red Book is a Social Security publication that serves as a guide to these work incentives.  You can download or print a copy of the latest edition at https://www.ssa.gov/redbook/.
