Clarification on the Ticket to Work program

 Posted on October 25,2009 in Social Security Disability

I have received several email inquiries and online informational requests from people who have read my "Don't Forget Your Ticket To Work" article requesting help obtaining meaningful and fulfilling employment. Due to some confusion, I wanted to clarify some key points about the Ticket to Work program.

1. The Ticket to Work program is voluntary, you are not required to participate in the  program.
2. In order to be eligible for the program, you have to ALREADY be receiving Social Security  disability benefits. In other words, if you are receiving SSDI or SSI payments you can  participate in the program.
3. The program is FREE of charge
4. You must be a legal United States resident to participate in the program
5. Ticket to Work can be found at www.ssa.gov/work
6. There are over 12 million people receiving SSDI or SSI benefits and while over 90% of those  surveyed say they would like to go back  to work within five years, less than 0.5% actually  go back to work.
