Job seekers, their families, and their support team have many questions about Social Security and other benefits when considering employment. Benefits counseling provides information and support so decisions can be made based on facts, not fear.
Our counselors have been providing benefits counseling to job seekers for a combined 16 years and are certified by the state of Indiana. One of our counselors is a Tier Two BIN Liaison in recognition of her extensive knowledge of benefits and her ability to explain that knowledge to SSI recipients and SSDI beneficiaries. Our other counselors are on track to become Tier Two BIN Liaisons.
Tier Two BIN Liaisons can complete the BIN process in considerably less time than Tier One BIN Liaisons since they do not have to have BIN plans reviewed and approved by the Indiana governing agency. She is typically able to complete a benefits report just days after receiving the information from the Social Security Administration.
Indiana Vocational Rehabilitation Counselors will benefit by sending referrals to JSCC because we complete services faster and provide more information to the job seeker. Other VRCs should contact JSCC to see if this service is available in your state.
