While benefit specialists were not responsible for recommending a specific course of action to beneficiaries, they did present a number of work incentives and provisions that were available to these individuals on an individual basis, fully discussing the requirements of and possible ramifications of each.

A wide range of incentives was presented to beneficiaries and discussed as possible options to pursue in the future. While the exact proportion of indicated incentives varied as a function of service level with higher percentages in the more intensive group, as expected, it is evident from the results that, overall, the same overall pattern of incentives was presented to both groups. The incentives presented most often in both groups were a Trial Work Period, which provides an opportunity for beneficiaries to test work skills while maintaining benefits, a subsequent Extended Period of Eligibility, and Impairment Related Work Expenses. Those presented least often for both groups were Student Earned Income Exclusion and Blind Work Expense, probably due to the relatively small proportion of recipients who are blind or under the age of 22.
