Background on the WISA Manual Changes: This WISA Manual provides information about and requirements for the WISA contracted programs and billable services, vocational rehabilitation (VR) counselor procedures, and samples of forms for WISAs and VR counselors. When a client receives SSI and/or SSDI and returns to work, SSA requires them to complete a Work Activity Report. This report is used to document how much a client is earning, how many hours they are working, and whether work incentives apply. Many WISA providers have identified a service gap; they have clients asking them for assistance with completing these reports, but it is not currently a billable WISA service. WISA providers are investing time and resources into helping clients complete these reports, however, they cannot currently bill for their time. These changes would add this to the list of reimbursable services. The changes to the WISA Manual include: • Title Page: Updated to current date. • Page 4: Added “Work Activity Report” to WISA billable services list. • Page 19: Added the service description, procedure code, and fee for the newly added “Work Activity Report” to the WISA billable services list.
