Consequences if Timely Progress is Not Made

If timely progress is not made, you will no longer be considered to be using a ticket. You may continue to participate in the Ticket to Work program.

• You will lose your protection from CDRs.
  
• Your ticket will be considered not “in-use”.

Re-entering “in-use” status

If you fail to meet the timely progress requirements, you may submit a written request to MAXIMUS asking to be reinstated to “in-use” status for a ticket, based on the following guidelines.

During the initial 24 months period:

Re-entering “in-use” status occurs if:

• You demonstrate three consecutive months of active participation in an employment plan;
  
• You have a ticket assigned to an EN or VR agency;
  
• Your next review period is the already-scheduled 24-month review.
  

At the time of the 24-month progress review:

Re-entering “in-use” status occurs if you:

• Complete three months of work above the SGA level for non-blind beneficiaries within a rolling 12-month period; (This period must begin after the date that you failed to make timely progress.)
  
• Have a ticket assigned to and EN or VR agency;
  
• Have an employment plan with the goal of working above SGA.

After reinstatement, a second 12-month review period will begin, with a requirement to work 6 out of the 12 months above SGA for non-blind beneficiaries.

During the first 12-month progress review period:

Re-entering “in-use” status occurs if you meet the same requirements of the 24-month progress review above.

During subsequent 12-month progress review periods:

Re-entering “in-use” status occurs if you meet the same requirements of the 12-month progress review above, except that:

• After reinstatement, a 12-month review period will begin, with a requirement to work 6 out of the 12 months at a level that will result in cessation of SSI and/or SSDI cash benefits.
