Ticket To Work- Jobs for the disabled
I received my "Ticket to Work" and I'm looking for a job for the disabled, now what? Once you find that job for the disabled we'll provide you with an extra $500 all you have to do is send us copies of your paystubs showing you earned over $360 in one month. If you continue working the job for the disabled and earning over $720/month we can provide additional funds once every quarter. The Ticket to Work protects you from a Medical review while you are working your job for the disabled.
Ticket to Work program can be used to find a job for the disabled and/or can help with school expenses using a PASS plan. (you don't have to use both at the same time, but you can)!
A PASS Plan can be used by both SSI and SSDI beneficiaries to receive additional benefit funds worth hundreds of dollars/month.
For us to be able to help, getting you the extra funds once you found that job for the disabled or help paying for school expenses you need to fill out the Ticket to Work “Ticket Agreement” and fax or mail it to us. We will also need your Social Security releases. We will check to make sure you are eligible. Once Ticket to Work eligibility is determined we need you to find a job. This shows Social Security and Ticket to Work you are truly interested in moving on with your life. Click here to get your "Ticket to Work" Forms.
Using your Social Security Ticket to Work
Your Ticket to Work gives you an opportunity to use all the work incentives and benefits that Social Security has available for recipients that want to work or go to school. Does your EN know the intricacies of how work affects your benefits? Make sure you know! We'll help you understand how you can keep your Medicare/Medicaid while working! Do they help you with a Social Security PASS Plan? A PASS Plan can give you hundreds even thousand of dollars of grant like assistance over and above what you now receive.
In this section we will discuss the Ticket to Work Program and jobs for the disabled. We highly recommend that you contact your State Vocational Rehabilitation Service offices and see how they can assist you with employment training. They help alot of disabled people. I received help (my story) through my State VR, but if they are not going to give you hundreds of dollars in funding to reach your goal, then why turn your ticket into them. You have a choice! Maybe we're the Ticket to Work choice for you! If Voc-Rehab will fund you, then use their funds.
If you are interested in school make sure you check out our other pages to use your Ticket to Work and PASS plan. We will need you to work and earn over $350 in a month period, to be able to assist you through the TickettoWork. We will then use the PASS (Plan to Achieve Self-Support) to try to get you the school funds you need to reach your goal, through the “Ticket to Work”.
Turn your Ticket to Work in to us and we will offer you things like:
1. While your Ticket to Work is assigned and active you will not be subject to medical review. This is very important, if your disability has improved and you are due to have a medical check done by Social Security.
2. We can give work assistance bonuses of $500 once every quarter for the first 12 months that you earn over $720/month. (There are eligiblity requirements.)

4. If you assign us your Ticket to work we will help in preparing a Social Security PASS Plan, if it is appropriate in your case.(Example: training expenses, transportation assistance, assistive devices, etc.)
5. Your Ticket to Work can help in showing employers how they can receive a $2400 - $9000 tax benefits by hiring someone that has a disability. Also, how their medical costs will actually be reduced because you already receive Medicare/Medicaid.
6. Referrals to other agencies or websites if needed. We will help you use your Ticket to Work to benefit you in any way we can! (Job opportunities)

What could I possibly use the Social Security PASS plan funds for?
Well, the possibilities are pretty much unlimited. If you can show using Social Securiy PASS Plan funds you will increase your employment or earning power, a Social Security PASS Plan can be used. Your employment work goal does have to be feasible, and funds are limited to the amount of your countable earned income + any unearned income that you receive. The more you earn because of employment the more you have to put into the PASS Plan. Using your Ticket to Work and a PASS makes working pays twice! If you are receiving the maximum SSI, Medicaid, and are not working a PASS Plan will not help you, but if you go to work and need asistance a PASS plan can help.
If your car breaks down and you need a new engine or transmission, a PASS plan could pay for it. It can even help purchase a better car, if you can show in detail how you will use a car to reach a vocational goal.
Would a disability grant for employment training, assistive device, or technology make you more productive? Purchasing that work equipment and leasing it to your employer or subcontracting your work, may give you a better chance of finding a job. The Social Security Ticket to Work and especially the Social Security PASS Plan can make this a possibility.

How will working affect the Social Security Disability Benefits I now receive? Does the Ticket to Work affect them?
For those receiving SSI only (little work history)
The maximum SSI disability benefit is $674/month in 2010. (Some states do supplement this amount)
If you are disabled and employed, here is the formula that Social Security disability uses to figure your SSI disability check. (Maximum SSI-((Gross monthly Wages-$85)/2)))
- Gross Monthly Wages-$85
- then divide by 2 = this equals what Social Security calls "countable (work) earned income"
- take the Maximum SSI - "countable (work) earned income" = Your SSI disability check for the month.
If you have a Social Security PASS Plan, you receive the maximum SSI disability check no matter how much you earn! Your "countable earned income" is then used to pay for your PASS Plan expenses.
If you receive SSDI or both SSDI and SSI
Figuring how a PASS Plan will affect your disability benefits while receiving SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) is a little more complicated. Employment wages and the amount of SSDI affect your SSI and PASS Plan. The more employment or wages you have the more you can put into the PASS Plan. We do have a spreadsheet that you can use to figure out exactly how a PASS Plan would affect you. All you have to do is insert the number of TWP months that you have used, your work wages, and your SSDI + other unearned income. The spread sheet will calculate your total income, amount put into the plan, and what you will have remaining for living expenses.
Marital status and assets are two more important factors that will need to be considered when deciding whether a PASS Plan is appropriate for you.
