About Us - Office of Employment Support Programs

Welcome to the Office of Employment Support Programs (OESP) and to The Work Site. Since the establishment of our office in 1999 and The Work Site in 2000, our goal has been, and will continue to be, to provide a focus within the Social Security Administration on matters affecting the employment of Social Security beneficiaries with disabilities.

OESP is pledged to ensure that SSA delivers "world class" service to beneficiaries who want to work. This means that they will not only learn about our cash benefit programs, they will also receive accurate information about our employment support programs and where they can get the services they need to make a successful entry into the workforce.
