Ticket To Work

Ticket to Work is a voluntary employment-related program initiated through the Social Security Administration. Nationwide, over 9 million adults (ages 18-64 years) SSA beneficiaries with disabilities will be eligible.

The program:

• Gives people the training and support they need to go to work by increasing their choices
• Is available to SSA Beneficiaries with SSI or SSDI
• Assists participants in finding employment, vocational rehabilitation and other support services from public and private providers

When you get a Ticket, you are free to choose if and when to use it.

If you decide to use it, you will need to take the Ticket to a participating Employment Network (EN) in your local area.

Once you identify your choice for EN assignment, you will receive assistance in developing a written Individual Work Plan (IWP) with the EN, or an Individual Plan for Employment (IPE).

Together, you will agree on the employment goals you desire.

Upon completion of this step, the Ticket is considered "in use."
