One of the Social Security Administration's (SSA) highest priorities is to support the efforts of disabled beneficiaries who want to work by developing policies and services to help them reach their employment goal. To that end, the
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs include a number of employment support provisions commonly referred to as work incentives.
The Red Book is a general reference tool designed to provide a working knowledge of these provisions. The Red Book is written primarily for educators, advocates, rehabilitation professionals, and counselors who serve individuals with disabilities. SSA also expects that applicants and beneficiaries will use it as a self-help guide.
