Ticket to Work is a voluntary employment program for people with
disabilities administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA).
The Ticket program offers disability beneficiaries age 18 through 64
expanded opportunities to obtain the services and supports that they
need to work and to achieve their employment goals. SSA does this by
paying providers of services, referred to as "Employment Networks" or
"ENs", for assisting beneficiaries to reach designated Milestones and
Outcomes associated with achieving self-supporting employment. An EN can
be any agency or organization that provides or is equipped to provide
employment- related services and supports to individuals who have
disabilities. For more information regarding the Ticket to Work program,
