Benefits Counseling for Texans Receiving SSI and/or SSDI Seeking Employment

Who are we?

We are a group of Certified Work Incentive Practitioners and Employment Specialists. We have worked in the area of Vocational Rehabilitation since 2015. Recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) can be referred to Garza & Associates to speak with a Certified Work Incentive Practitioner. The program’s purpose is to ensure that recipients obtain correct information and can use it to make a successful transition to work.  Ask your vocational rehabilitation counselor for a referral today!

What can Work Incentive Practitioners do for you?

We have Community Work Incentives Coordinators who will:

  • provide in-depth counseling about benefits and the effect of work on those benefits;
  • conduct outreach efforts to beneficiaries of SSI and SSDI (and their families) who are potentially eligible to participate in Federal or State work incentives programs; and
  • work in cooperation with Federal, State, and private agencies and nonprofit organizations that serve disabled SSI and SSDI beneficiaries.
