Title: Revising Aspects of SSA's Vocational Rehabilitation Program (929P) 
Abstract: We propose to amend our regulations to remove obsolete provisions in 20 CFR part 404 and 20 CFR part 416 relating to the referral of disabled or blind beneficiaries for vocational rehabilitation (VR) services. We also are proposing to revise the regulations for our VR Cost Reimbursement Program to better integrate some aspects of these rules with those of the Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program. The Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 (Ticket Act), eliminated the provisions of the Social Security Act that required that beneficiaries receiving disability or blindness benefits be referred to State VR agencies for appropriate services. The Ticket Act also provides these beneficiaries with expanded options for access to employment, VR, and other support services.
