Work Without Limits is proud to partner with Creatives Rebuild New York Guaranteed Income for Artists

Creatives Rebuild New York (CRNY), a workforce initiative for artists across New York State, provides artists with employment opportunities and guaranteed income to mitigate the devastating economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In partnership with CRNY, Work Without Limits will provide artists with benefits counseling services. These services will help artists to understand the impact employment and guaranteed income may have on any public benefits they may be receiving.

The Work Without Limits Benefits Counseling program specializes in assisting individuals to understand how earned income (e.g., from work) and unearned income (e.g., guaranteed income) may affect eligibility for public benefits, such as:

• Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
• Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
• Medicaid and Medicare
• Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
• Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
• Subsidized Housing

Our team of benefits specialists have extensive knowledge and training in public benefit programs and in providing benefits and work incentives counseling services to individuals and families in Massachusetts and New York. Our benefits specialists have been trained and certified by the U.S. Social Security Administration and Virginia Commonwealth University.
