Title: Revising the Ticket to Work Program Rules (3780A) | |
Abstract:
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. |

Statement of Need: We would like to clarify the purpose of and the rules for our Ticket to Work (TTW) program, as part of our ongoing effort to help our beneficiaries find and maintain employment that leads to increased independence and enhanced productivity. |
||||||||||||
Summary of the Legal Basis: Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 (Ticket Act). |
||||||||||||
Alternatives: We may postpone updating our TTW regulations. |
||||||||||||
Anticipated Costs and Benefits: 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. |
