​The Disability Benefits Estimator is a tool that individuals with disabilities can use to make informed choices about benefits. This tool estimates the benefits you may be eligible for based on your current benefits and income. If you are receiving benefits, and your income level is about to change, you can use it to see if and how it may affect them. Each year the disability benefits estimator is updated to use current state and federal data to make the disability benefits calculations. 

Your results are estimates only. This is not a replacement for a professional benefits analysis. Use the estimator as you consider a change in employment and then contact a WIPA coordinator to discuss your results. You can locate your local WIPA coordinator here: https://beta.illinoisworknet.com/disabilityworks/Tools/Pages/ServiceLocator.aspx. 

How does it work?

The Disability Benefits Estimator is simple to use. Just enter your information into each box on each page as it applies to you. Once you have finished all sections, you will get a list of potential benefits and options to explore. The items with a red asterisk (*) are required.

Once you have done this, you have the option to save your results in your account. You can do this as many times as you would like. On the start page of the estimator, you can see a list of your saved results if you are logged in to your account. From this list, you can view or delete them.

The process takes less than 10 minutes to finish. Also, any info you share on it will remain private.
