Check with Social Security under Work Incentives. 1-800-772-1213 or www.ssa.gov
Also look for a benefits planner near you-they can find out for you and it is free.

Every state has some type of program to assist people with disabilities in the workforce as a result of the Americans with Disabilities Act...
In Texas there is the Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services or DARS.
If you live in Texas call 1-800-628-5115 or check out www.dars.state.tx.us
Good Luck!

I recommend checking with your state's department of vocational rehabilitation and also Workforce. Also check with the Social Security Administration about the Ticket to Work program. I have included several links below.
