Are you willing to use the guidelines of Ticket to Work and earn over $910.00 per month? (see below)*
- Yes, I am willing to earn over $910 per month, with the help of Ticket to Work
- No, I am not willing to earn over $910 a month
You answered SSDI. If you have worked while on benefits, have you used up 'All' of your 9 month Trial Work Period months?**
- Yes, I have used up all 9 Trial period months
- No, I have not used up all 9 trial period months
- I have not worked at all while receiving SSDI. Not Applicable
*If you have worked while on Social security benefits and are unsure of how many trial work period months you have used up, you can call Social Security at 800-772-1213 and ask for a BPQY (Benefits Planning Query)

[Per SSA website]- During a Trial work period (TWP), a beneficiary receiving Social Security disability benefits (SSDI) may 'test' their ability to work for at least 9 months and still be considered disabled. During a Trial work period, a person will still receive full Social Security benefits and health insurance, regardless of how much is earned, as long as, they report work activity. In 2020, a Trial work month is any month in which total monthly earnings are over $910. To read more about Ticket to Work & SSDI benefits, visit http://www.ssa.gov/oact/cola/twp.html
Is It Your Long Term Goal to Become Financially Independent?*
- Yes, it is my long term goal to become financially independent
- No, it is not my long term goal to become financially independent
Our Screening staff will go over this question and your answer more thoroughly after you submit your application. The overall goal of the Ticket to Work Program is to help those on SSDI or SSI to become more self sufficient.

How many hours do you want to work?*
- Full-time
- Part-time
What Is Your Age?**
*Employment Options asks this question only to help determine eligibility in the Ticket to Work Program. Social Security guidelines for the program state that those eligible must be receiving SSDI or SSI disability benefits and be between the ages of 18-64 years old.

Have you ever assigned your Ticket to Work?*
- Yes
- No
Do you currently receive job placement services from another employment network or State Department of Vocational Rehabilitation (VR)?*
- Yes
- No
You answered 'YES' to currently receiving job placement services from another EN or VR agency.
You can still complete our application. However, please note that you will have to close your VR case and dis-assign your ticket from that agency, (if we determine that we can help you & if you want our job placement assistance). A beneficiary’s 'ticket' to work cannot be assigned to more than one agency at a time, per Ticket to Work guidelines (our staff can give you instructions).
If you have worked with a State Department of Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Agency - was closure successful or unsuccessful?*
- Yes, I found employment with VR
- No, I did not find employment with VR
- I have never worked with a State Department of Vocational rehab office
Our Screening staff will go over this question and your answer more thoroughly after you submit your application. We can explain the guidelines of the program.

Can you set aside regular set hours for working at home and not be distracted or interrupted during those hours?*
- Yes
- No
This includes no distractions from babies, pets, TV's or other background noise.
All of the work from home employers we work with require that a person work set hours and are W-2 positions. If you are physically or emotionally unable to work set hours, we will be unable to assist you directly with a work from home position.
You can also call Maximus (Ticket to Work Help line) at 866-968-7842 for help finding other Employment networks in the program as well. You can email help@myemploymentoptions.com for a list of other job resources to help you. You will automatically get a list of resources via email autoresponder.

Are you able to read without assistive technology program (ex. Zoomtech, Jaws)*
- Yes, I am able to read and use the computer without needing assistive technology programs
- No. I require the use of technology programs such as Zoomtech or Jaws to read
Unfortunately, at the present time, none of our work-from-home partner companies have software that is compatible with Jaws and/or Zoomtech. People using Zoomtech limit their ability to work at home because the nature of the work requires employees to have 10-12 windows open at one time on their browser.
