Ticket to Work is a new federal Social Security law. The purpose of the law is to give people who receive social security benefits the services and support they need to go to work.

What is Ticket to Work ?

A ticket is a voucher that you can turn in to an “Employment Network” to receive services. An employment network can be a public program, like DVR, or a non-profit corporation or private business that has been approved to help you get the services and support you need to go to work.

Ticket to Work is being managed by a company called Maximus, which is responsible for approving and publishing the list of approved employment networks.

Who gets a ticket ?

Individuals who are 18 to 64 years old and are receiving SSI or SSDI cash benefits are eligible to receive a ticket.

What can I do with the ticket I get ?

The program is voluntary. You can use your ticket now, save it for later use, or not use it at all. You will not lose your benefits if you decide not to use the ticket. The goal is for people to turn their tickets in to DVR or another Employment Network in exchange for services and supports that will help them go to work.
