If you are already providing employment services and supports to people with disabilities, it is likely that some of them are Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries eligible to participate in the Ticket to Work (Ticket) program. The Ticket program represents an excellent opportunity to access additional unrestricted funding both to help provide services to your existing clients and expand your client base.  How your organization uses the additional funds is entirely up to your organization.

If your organization decides to become an Employment Network (EN), you can start earning EN payments as soon as the first month you place a Ticket Holder who has assigned his or her Ticket to you in employment. In some situations, your organization will be able to generate more than $5,100 in the first nine months of employment. And, if you help the Ticket Holder maintain that employment and increase his or her earnings for a number of months after disability benefits cease, your organization can potentially earn more than $23,000 for successfully serving that one person. 

The Payments-At-A-Glance document provides detailed information regarding the payments available through the Ticket Program.
