Finding an Employment Network

An Employment Network (EN) is an entity that contracts with the Social Security Administration to either provide or coordinate the delivery of the necessary services to Social Security disability beneficiaries who assign their tickets to the EN. The ultimate goal of this program is to reduce reliance on Social Security disability benefits and to promote increased self-sufficiency for beneficiaries with disabilities through work. Ticket to Work is an employment support program for people with disabilities who are interested in going to work or increasing their earnings.  Its goal is to increase opportunities and choices for Social Security disability beneficiaries to obtain vocational rehabilitation, employment and other support services from public and private providers, employers and other organizations.

Choosing the Wrong Employment Network

Not all Employment Networks (EN) are the same. In fact, part of the strength of the Ticket program is the variety of services offered by ENs. So, it's particularly important to think through your situation carefully and ask: What is the single biggest barrier to fulfilling my employment goals? Then find an EN whose services best address that problem.

Things Aren't Working Out with my Employment Network

Under the Ticket Program, you are allowed to end your relationship with your Employment Network (EN) at any time and reassign your ticket to another EN, no questions asked. So if things aren't working out with your EN, or if your situation changes and you would benefit more from another type of service, you may consider switching.
