 WIN
Work Incentive Network
What is WIN?
WIN is a free benefits and work incentives planning service provided by 6 Oregon Centers for Independent Living to people with disabilities who want to work.
WIN helps people with disabilities to:
1.Make Informed decisions about work and their benefits
2.Use work incentives to achieve their employment goals
3.Navigate the benefits system when they begin working
Many people with disabilities believe that if they go to work, they will lose all cash benefits or medical insurance they receive… this is seldom true.
WIN provides a "one-stop" source of information and assistance, reduces the fear and misunderstanding about the effect that working has on benefits, helps prevent crises when change occurs, and improves employment and economic outcomes.
