May Work Incentive Seminar Events: Helping Beneficiaries Make Informed
Choices About Work

SAMHSA Consumer Affairs E-News - May 3, 2010

 

If you are interested in learning about the Ticket to Work Program or
other Work Incentives, you can attend a FREE Work Incentive Seminar
Event (WISE). WISE are community events held by local organizations for
beneficiaries to learn more about available Social Security Work
Incentives through accessible, informal, learning opportunities.

 

Attend a WISE to connect with local training and employment resources,
explore opportunities to increase your income, and network with other
job seekers and employers. Local Work Incentive Planning and Assistance
projects will be hosting 34 WISE Events in 21 states and one territory
in May. A list of the locations and dates of those upcoming events
appears below. 

 

For more information or to sign up for a WISE Event in your area, visit

------------------

Ticket to Work is a voluntary employment program for people with
disabilities administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA).
The Ticket program offers people receiving Social Security disability
benefits 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 approved 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, please visit CESSI's Frequently
Asked Questions web page:
