Benefits Counseling
Find benefits counseling service providers in your area. If you are unsure of what type of benefits counseling services you need, contact the Wisconsin Disability Benefits Network (email wdbn@eri-wi.org or call 1-800-710-9326).
- Work Incentive Benefit Specialists (WIBS) assist people with disabilities by helping them wade through the complexities to make informed choices about the impact of work on their benefits. WIBS can provide a written and oral analysis of a person's services and benefits and how work will change their cash payments, medical coverage, and continued eligibility. Two types of WIBS in Wisconsin include Fee for Service or Purchase of Service Benefits Counselors and the Work Incentives Planning and Assistance Program counselors.
- Disability, Health and Employment Counseling (MAPP & HEC): The Medicaid Purchase Plan (MAPP) offers education and assistance to help people with disabilities maintain or get Medicaid healthcare coverage while employed or seeking work. The Health & Employment Counseling (HEC) program is a nine-month pre-employment program for people with disabilities who want to enroll in the Medicaid Purchase Plan (MAPP), but who are not yet employed. Through MAPP, people with disabilities who are working or enrolled in HEC may buy their Medicaid coverage by paying a monthly premium, based on income. Individuals with low income may not have to pay a premium. Contact your local MAPP / HEC Specialist.
- Disability Benefit Specialists (DBS) provide counseling for people with physical, developmental, and mental illness disabilities between the ages of 18 and 59. A DBS can provide cost-free information and counseling about public and private benefits programs and help people apply for or appeal the denial of benefits. Contact your local Disability Benefits Counselor (if applicable)
- Elderly Benefit Specialists (EBS) help people age 60 or older figure out their private or government benefits, including the complex issues around various prescription drug plans. They also provide counseling for individuals approaching retirement and not yet receiving benefits. An EBS can provide accurate and current information, suggest alternative ways to secure benefits or appeal denials of benefits, advocate with other parties, explain legal action or other possible solutions, and make referrals to an appropriate attorney if necessary. Contact your local Elderly Benefit Specialist
