What is Ticket to Work

Narrator:

Are you age 18 through 64?

Do you receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income or SSI 
because of your disability? SSDI provides benefits to people with disabilities who have worked 
or have previously worked and paid enough into  the Social Security system through payroll 
deduction or  paying self-employment taxes. SSI makes payments to  people with disabilities 
and who have limited income and resources. Are you interested in increasing your earning 
potential and finding fulfillment in the workforce?

If so, Social Security's Ticket to Work Program may be a good fit for you!

Ticket to Work is a free and voluntary program.

The program can help you decide if working is right for you and provide long-term support to 
help you find keep and advance in a job. 

Authorized Ticket Program service providers, such as Employment Networks or your State 
Vocational Rehabilitation agency provide services such as career counseling, Vocational 
Rehabilitation, job placement assistance and training. Employment Networks can help with 
career counseling and assistance with job placement, including helping you understand how 
working will affect your benefits.

Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies work with people who need more significant services to 
return to work, or to work for the first time. This may include intensive training, benefits 
counseling, rehabilitation services, and education, which sometimes includes college courses.
