Benefits of the Ticket to Work Program

Ticket to Work is a free employment program that helps people with disabilities progress toward financial independence.

Trial Work Period (TWP) for SSDI recipients allows you to test your ability to work for at least 9 months. During your TWP, you will receive full SSDI benefits no matter how much you earn as long as your work activity is reported and you have a disabling impairment.

Expedited Reinstatement (EXR) for both SSDI and SSI recipients. If your benefits stopped because of your earnings level, and you are no longer able to work because of your medical condition, or one related to it, you can request to have your benefits reinstated without having to complete a new application. While Social Security determines your benefits reinstatement, you are eligible to receive temporary benefits for up to 6 months.

Protection from Medical Continuing Disability Reviews (CDR) (SSDI and SSI recipients). If you assign your Ticket to an approved service provider before you receive notice of a medical Continuing Disability Review (CDR), you will not have to undergo the medical review while you are participating in the Ticket to Work Program and making progress within Social Security’s timeframes.
