How does social securitys ticket to work program work for disabled people?
All a ticket to work is – is a means to pay an agency of your choice to help you find employment. The agency (EN/ Employment Network) has to apply and be approved. It must provide you certain services and get you an actual job that you keep. They only get paid if they successfully place you in a job, provide you support services, if needed, so you can be a success at your job for six months. You aren’t successful – all the work they did was for nothing. The problem sometimes is getting someone to take your ticket. Your ticket is worthless to you, but it is potentially very valuable to an agency. But they have to determine what it is going to cost them to get you a job, what chance there is you will be successful, and whether that equals what they will get paid. Yes, you have to go through an authorized agency to receive a Ticket To Work to use it.
