Change is going on at Positive Solutions. In March the Social Security Administration announced that funding for the Work Incentives Planning and Assistance projects (WIPA) would end June 30,2012. As a result, our WIPA program will officially end June 30, 2012. This meant that we had to scramble for funding so we can continue to serve our clients' needs. Unfortunately, this means that we had to temporarily close the Bremerton office. Kitsap County beneficiaries wil still be served through the Seattle office (206-322-8181). It has been our privilege to serve SSA beneficiaries with disabilities and to support their efforts to access and sustain productive employment. We also want to thank those partners who helped us provide those services. We thank you for collaboration with us over the years, and we thank you for your support and partnership. We will be maintaining Positive Solutions at the Seattle office. The WIPA project will continue through June 30, 2012. Again, it is our goal to ensure that current beneficiary services are completed in a timely manner. After June 1, 2012 new clients will be enrolled in Positive Solutions' new benefits planning program. We look forward to serving our clients as in the past. They will continue to receive the same quality of support and care. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions. Our Seattle address is: 114 Alaskan Way S, Suite 103 Seattle, WA 98104 Our telephone number is: (206) 322-8181 Write Comment (0 comments) |

When we switched to the new Work Incentives Planning and Assistance program (WIPA) the Social Security Administration required all of our specialists to be certified in this new program. Positive Solutions program director Bob Leeds explained, “In January 2008 Social Security announced that all Benefits Specialists had to be recertified under the new program. The training for both groups was very intense, and consisted of six informational modules with testing on each module. The focus of the new program is to concentrate on those people who receive Social Security Disability Benefits who are working, or have been offered a job, or who are looking for work,” he continued, “that is different from the old program which focused on giving out information about how working would affect their Social Security benefits to anyone who called.” Write Comment (0 comments) |
