TICKET TO WORK SERVICES

FIND MEANINGFUL WORK
WITH THE RIGHT SUPPORTS

Ticket to Work is a great way for people who receive Social Security benefits to return to the workforce, or enter the workforce for the first time. The system is designed to help people achieve financial independence at their own pace - but it can be difficult to navigate by yourself.

​

We are an approved Employment Network provider for Social Security as a member of the American Dream Employment Network (ADEN). That means we can help you or your loved one find meaningful work AND understand the impact of work on benefits like Social Security, Medicaid & Medicare, and many other public benefits programs. Our services are 100% FREE for people who opt into the Ticket to Work Program. We can work with you from start to finish, or with long-term support once you're done working with a state vocational rehabilitation agency (sometimes called a Ticket "handoff").

WHO IS THE PROGRAM FOR?

Anyone who receives SSI or SSDI who is 18-64 years old, and wants to move toward a meaningful career and financial independence.
