This notice of proposed rulemaking will pose several questions to the public regarding the best means by which to encourage employment networks to assist beneficiaries in seeking employment at a level that could lead to eventual financial independence. We want to hear from program beneficiaries and others about what combination of incentives would best help beneficiaries to go to work and reach and sustain middle-class earnings.

Updating the Ticket to Work program rules to provide increased choices for our beneficiaries and service providers.  Improving flexibility in the program rules should also increase the number of employment service providers participating in the Ticket to Work program, as well as encourage additional beneficiaries to attempt work and reach their employment goals.  When beneficiaries with disabilities return work at a significant level of earnings, they are able to take advantage of all of the work supports in SSA’s program rules and start on the road to financial independence and a better future.
