Are you willing to use the guidelines of Ticket to Work and earn over $880.00 per month? (see below)*
- Yes, I am willing to earn over $880 per month, with the help of Ticket to Work
- No, I am not willing to earn over $880 a month
[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 2019, a Trial work month is any month in which total monthly earnings are over $880. To read more about Ticket to Work & SSDI benefits, visit http://www.ssa.gov/oact/cola/twp.html
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)
If you are on SSDI & have used your nine Trial Work period months, are you willing to come off/lose your Social Security disability cash benefits? (If you currently receive medical coverage through Medicare, you can continue to be eligible for coverage for at least 93 months, the month following your Trial Work Period. Our benefits specialist can help you sort through this process.
- Yes, I am willing to come off/lose my disability benefits
- No, I am not willing to come off/lose disability benefits
Unfortunately, because of Ticket to Work program guidelines, we are unable to help you with our job placement services. The purpose of the Ticket to Work Program and our services is to assist you in getting off disability benefits over time and becoming self-sufficient.

You may be able to receive help from another Employment Network (EN) that has multiple streams of funding or through your State Dept. of Vocational Rehabilitation.

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

Important Reminder: 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? (Did you find employment while with VR)?*
- 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
We are sorry but because you successfully found employment through Vocational Rehab. (VR) and also because of how the Ticket to Work program works, we will be unable to help you with our free services. We are mandated by the rules of the program.
