Ticket to Work

The Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency program is a federally established, nationwide initiative that brings positive change to recipients of Social Security Disability cash benefits. The program reduces the barriers to employment for people with disabilities by emphasizing work incentives and more choices of services leading to work or better wages. The program helps individuals with disabilities earn enough so they will not need to rely on Social Security cash benefits.

Ticket to Work may be used to access employment, vocational rehabilitation and other related services.
