Benefit Analysis

Benefit Analysis

MEORC is committed to building strong communities and helping people understand how working will change benefits. 
A Benefit Analysis report provides clear and concise comparisons of work scenarios to minimize over payment by Social Security and unforeseen loss of benefits. A Benefit Analysis report includes a Work Incentive Plan as a road map for planning. 
Who Needs a Benefit Analysis? 
  • Anyone looking for their first time job, to change jobs, to work more or less hours or to change their rate of pay 
  • When there is a change in life, like marriage or a roommate
  • The best time to have a Benefit Analysis is before the changes occur but it can be completed at any time too
