Ticket To Work Program


I have been getting a lot of questions about the Social Security Administration’s Ticket to Work program. The Social Security Administration’s Ticket To Work program provides Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries the opportunity to explore career development programs, while remaining on benefits. The program is available to both Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income recipients between the ages of 18 to 64 years who want to work. It is a free and voluntary program.

The goal of the Ticket-To-Work program is to help people with disabilities achieve financial independence. The Ticket to Work program provides a variety of service providers, employment networks and State vocational rehabilitation agencies to help a beneficiary achieve concrete work goals. A Ticket can allow an individual to obtain education, training or job support. In return, the Social Security Administration expects that a Ticket-holder achieve specific earnings levels, education or training goals within a timely manner. Thus, the Ticket To Work program requires a working partnership between the Social Security Administration and the Ticket-holder.
