What is the purpose of the Ticket to Work program?

The Ticket to Work program serves to provide assistance and support to individuals receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The primary goal is to offer these individuals an opportunity to engage in meaningful employment without losing their benefits. By offering a voucher to obtain employment services, the program connects participants with various resources and providers that can help them develop job skills, find employment, and achieve financial independence. This initiative aims to encourage self-sufficiency and facilitate the transition into the workforce, making it a vital resource for those looking to overcome barriers to employment while still receiving necessary support from government programs.
