Guest guest Posted December 1, 2000 Report Share Posted December 1, 2000 Initial Ticket to Work States The Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 (TWWIIA) was enacted on December 17, 1999. Section 101(a) of TWWIIA establishes the Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program (the Ticket to Work program). The Ticket to Work program will make more service providers available to Social Security and Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries with disabilities who are seeking employment services, vocational rehabilitation services, and other support services to assist them in obtaining, regaining, and maintaining self-supporting employment. Under the Ticket to Work program, SSA will issue tickets to these beneficiaries, who will have the option of taking the ticket to service providers of their choice called employment networks. Employment networks also will be able to choose who they serve under the program. We will issue tickets to beneficiaries in phases, beginning in 2001. This will allow us to evaluate the Ticket to Work program and make any necessary improvements before the Program is fully implemented nationwide by 2004. During the first phase of the Program, we will be distributing tickets in the following States: Arizona New York Colorado Oklahoma Delaware Oregon Florida South Carolina Illinois Vermont Iowa Wisconsin Massachusetts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
