Many job seekers with disabilities who receive Supplemental Security Income or Social Security Disability Insurance typically don’t receive any benefits planning services until after they’ve gotten a job. But at that point, it’s harder to make informed decisions about whether or how much to work or to understand how earnings may affect benefits.

The Colorado Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) adopted a new approach: Offer benefits planning services to all VR participants as soon as they qualify for public benefits—before employment. The idea was to reduce a common barrier to work by making benefits planning a foundational part of the employment process, rather than an afterthought.
