MYTH: "If I get a job, I will instantly lose all my disability benefits."
FACT: Earning a competitive wage does NOT mean automatically losing your healthcare or financial support.

Work incentives, trial work periods, and specialized savings options exist to help individuals with disabilities pursue employment without risking necessary healthcare supports.

Your local CIL can guide you through work incentives so you can make informed choices.
