Why Ticket to Work?

If you receive disability benefits from Social Security, then you know that getting those benefits took time, energy, and patience. In determining your eligibility for disability benefits, Social Security found that you could not earn enough money to support yourself. With the right opportunities and supports however, many people can earn a higher standard of living by going to work and leaving benefits.
Earning a living through employment is not something everyone can do but it may be right for you. We have the information and tools you need to manage the risks involved in earning your way off benefits. Those who can, find that the rewards far outweigh those risks. Take the time to learn about the employment services and supports Social Security offers to beneficiaries with disabilities…you may be surprised!

Who Qualifies?

Everyone ages 18 through 64 who receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits because of their disability, is eligible to participate in the Ticket to Work program. If you're ready to work, the Ticket program can help you get started!
