Frequently Asked Questions About
The Ticket to Work Program
Who can use the Ticket to Work Program?
Anyone between the ages of 18-64 actively receiving SSI or SSDI benefits due to disability should be eligible to use the Ticket to Work Program. We can verify your eligibility during your intake or you can contact the Ticket to Work Program Manager toll free at 1-866-968-7842 to verify eligibility.
Do I need an actual Ticket to participate?
No, despite the name, you do not need a physical ticket to participate, any service provider you contact can verify your eligibility.
Why should I choose A Path to Sucess over another EN?
A Path to Success’ mission is to assist the disabled community in reaching their goals with accurate, detailed information so you can make an informed decision about your benefits and choices.
As you might have read on our “About Us” page, Stephen Schrader developed his employment network to help disabled Americans, such as himself, take control of their destiny by providing them with the information necessary to make informed decisions about returning to work.
Using his personal experiences in trying to navigate the complexities of Social Security work incentives, he laid the foundation for A Path to Success to continue to help disabled individuals prepare for and succeed in returning to gainful employment, enabling you to find your own path to success.
What is the goal of the Ticket to Work Program?
The Ticket to Work Program is designed to provide Ticketholders the opportunities and support they need to return to work and maintain employment with the goal of eventually becoming self-sufficient and reducing reliance on cash benefits over time.
Is there any cost for assistance?
No, there is never a charge for any services provided under the Ticket to Work Program.
Will I lose my medical coverage if I participate in the program?
No! You will remain eligible for your medical coverage as long as you continue to receive a benefit check of any amount. Even if your benefit check stops due to earnings, there are work incentives that protect your Medicare coverage as long as you continue to have a disabling impairment. If you receive Medicaid, you can continue coverage as long as you meet certain requirements.
I don't feel comfortable giving you my Social Security information.
We absolutely understand, you can’t be too cautious these days!
All of our employees are required to have a favorable suitability determination as deemed by the Center for Suitability and Personnel Security prior to starting employment and we annually provide appropriate security awareness training to all our employees to ensure the safeguarding of all personally identifiable information at all times.
How can I verify your organization is legitimate?
You can reach out to the Ticket to Work Program Manager directly at 1-866-968-7842. Please provide them with our agency name and our Provider ID# (PID) 117-772-7373 and they can verify that we have a contract with the Social Security Administration to provide services for the Ticket to Work Program. Unfortunately, local SSA offices don’t handle Ticket to Work Program inquiries very often and as we offer services in all 50 states, they may not know our company.
