Ticket to Work

Choosing to work can change your life! If you have a disability and want to work, the Ticket to Work program may be right for you. 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, specifically the concern over losing health care coverage. We will help you explore your options, prepare for work, or gain experience while staying in control of your benefit choices. If you are age 18 through 64 and receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) you already qualify.

“As a person with a disability receiving SSDI, I thought my working days were over. With Ticket To Work, I don’t have to worry about losing my benefits and I can go back to work and feel active again!”
