emploter compensation for ssi employees

[panda_maonium]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

I am a restaurant manager for a business in southern California. I have a friend who has been on ss/disability for many years now. She mentioned to me that if she were to get hired on with a company, that company would receive compensation for any wages she earns for a certain period of months or what have you, due to the risk of having her as an employee, etc.

I was wondering whether or not this is true in all cases, or just some. I had a customer ask me for an application for her son the other day. She said that he is high end autistic, but wants to make his own money. Honestly, with the economy being what it is right now, we don't have the need or funds to hire on an extra person. I would, however, absolutely love to help someone help themselves so to speak.

I just need to know the ins and outs of the whole thing. Or at least where i would need to go to find out.

I believe there is a section for employers who want to hire the disabled.

As beautiful as it would have been to just go to the page and find what i needed, it is unfortunately a government site, and therefore impossible to find what you need. Which means I'll have to call oh well.
