Abstract: SSA is requesting to implement the Ticket Portal to replace the contractor administered Secure Provider Portal. The new Ticket Portal under SSA supports a more secure, efficient, and cost effective administration and operation of the Ticket to Work Program. This change decreases the respondent burden associated with processing and sending paper forms and tracking actions relative to program participation. Through its Ticket to Work Program Manager, SSA uses the information collected to operate and manage the Ticket to Work Program. SSA uses the Ticket to Work Program to assign Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries to a service provider, and follows their progress through the various stages of ticket program participation such as progress reviews or changes in ticket status. Most of the collections in this request require service providers to provide information to SSA for such tasks as selecting a payment system or requesting payments for helping the beneficiary achieve certain work goals. Most of the categories of information collected in this request are required for SSA to be in compliance with the Ticket to Work legislation and provide proper oversight of the program. The respondents are SSDI beneficiaries and blind or disabled SSI beneficiaries and their employment networks or State vocational rehabilitation agencies under the Ticket to Work Program.
