The Ticket to Work Program provides most people receiving Social Security benefits (beneficiaries) more choices for receiving employment services.

The EN, if they accept the ticket, will coordinate and provide appropriate services to help the beneficiary find and maintain employment. Learn more about Ticket to Work
