Ticket to Work Earnings Guide

The Social Security Ticket to Work program helps SSDI and SSI recipients return to work through free employment support services. It protects your benefits during your work transition and connects you with Employment Networks (ENs) that provide job placement, training, and career counseling at no cost.

Ticket to Work is voluntary and free. You don't have to worry about Continuing Disability Reviews (CDRs) while actively participating. Find Employment Networks at choosework.ssa.gov or call 1-866-968-7842. The program works best with a Benefits Planning, Assistance, and Outreach (BPAO) counselor who can model exactly how work affects your specific benefits.
