Ticket to Work ProgramSSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) and SSI (Supplemental Security Income) The Ticket to Work Program is an innovative program from the Social Security Administration for individuals with disabilities who want to work. It increases your choice in obtaining the employment services, vocational rehabilitation services, and other support services you may need to get or keep a job. It is a free and voluntary service. You can use the Ticket if you choose, but there is no penalty for not using it. Also, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will not conduct a medical review of your case while you are using the Ticket.
This program is available in all 50 States and 10 United States Territories. Many Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability beneficiaries will receive a “Ticket” they can use to obtain services from a state vocational rehabilitation (VR) agency or another approved provider of their choice. The SSA calls these approved providers “Employment Networks,” which are private organizations or government agencies that have agreed to work with the SSA in providing employment services to beneficiaries with disabilities.
For Ticket to Work information, including a list of approved Employment Networks, contact the SSA Ticket Program Operations Support Manager, MAXIMUS, at its toll free numbers; 1-866-YOURTICKET (1-866-968-7842) or 1-866-833-2967 (TTY/TDD); from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern time (Monday through Friday).
