I have been disabled for almost 2 years. I found it hard to live with the fact that I would be at home and not going out to work any longer. I had a lot of questions and fears. Would my disability payment each month be enough for my family and me to survive? Was this it? Will I ever be productive again for myself, my family, or my community? These were definitely in the fore-front of my mind. And then one day, I was introduced to the Social Security Administration's Ticket to Work Program.
The Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program is an employment program for people with disabilities who are interested in going to work. The Ticket Program is part of the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 – legislation designed to remove many of the barriers that previously influenced people’s decisions about going to work because of the concerns over losing health care coverage. The goal of the Ticket Program is to increase opportunities and choices for Social Security disability beneficiaries to obtain employment, vocational rehabilitation (VR), and other support services from public and private providers, employers, and other organizations.

Under the Ticket Program, the Social Security Administration (also referred to as the Agency) provides disability beneficiaries with a Ticket they may use to obtain the services and jobs they need from a new universe of organizations called Employment Networks
The Ticket Program is flexible and voluntary – Social Security Administration beneficiaries are not mandated to participate and in most cases, ENs can chose which services they want to provide, where, and to whom. Beneficiaries receiving Tickets can contact one or more to discuss services and once an agreement between the beneficiary and is reached, the two work together to develop a work plan to assist the beneficiary in reaching his or her employment goal.
Every month a Ticket-holder is employed at a certain wage level, receives revenue

This program really helped change my life. With the income limits changed, I was able to keep my Disability benefits, including COBRA, and work to learn a new skill. I am able to bring more income into the family, and earn back my own self respect. For more information you need to check with the management company for the Ticket to Work, Maximus, phone 866-968-7842 or go to the website: www.yourtickettowork.com"]]www.yourtickettowork.com]. You can obtain all the particulars there to apply and start feeling like a productive person again. Especially now with all of the Work at Home positions available around the country, it is great time to participate in the program.
