The advantages of using the Ticket to Work include, but are not limited to:
• protection from further SSA Continuing Disability Reviews as long as the
beneficiary is actively working with an EN towards employment and meeting
SSA’s Ticket use criteria;
• continued receipt of SSI and/or SSDI benefits, including monthly checks and health
coverage, i.e., no loss of benefits until a beneficiary has become self-supporting
with an independent income; and
• the use of all appropriate work incentives already offered by SSA, such as the
Student Earned Income Exclusion (SEIE), Impairment-Related Work Expenses
(IRWE), and the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) –all while working to
become employable, self-supporting, and independent.
