Benefits Planning Service

You may wonder what will happen to your Social Security cash benefits and medical coverage if you return to work. Several special rules put in place by Social Security called work incentives, are now available to encourage you to try work. Work incentives have enabled many SSI/SSDI recipients to earn more than they ever thought possible with benefits alone. There are trained and certified benefits counselors, sometimes called benefits planners, to help you understand the impact of work on your personal circumstances.

RiseHands LLC provides benefits planners that can help you understand the impact of work on your personal circumstances.
