How To Use Ticket To Work

Ticket to Work connects you with free employment services to help you decide if working is right for you, prepare for work, find a job or maintain success while you are working. If you choose to participate, you will receive services such as career counseling, vocational rehabilitation, and job placement and training from authorized Ticket to Work service providers, such as Employment Networks (EN) or your State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agency. The service provider you choose will serve as an important part of your "employment team" that will help you on your journey to financial independence.

Learn more about the type of service providers that will help you as part of your employment team.

Who Qualifies?

Participation in the Ticket to Work Program is free and voluntary.

18 through 64 who receives Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits because of his or her disability is eligible to participate in the Ticket to Work Program. Social Security no longer sends paper Tickets in the mail, and you don't need a paper Ticket to participate! Your eligibility will be verified by the service provider.
