The process for employment support begins with a free and voluntary program that matches your unique skills to the open job market. As an approved Employment Network under the Social Security Administration, we guide you through the Ticket to Work program to safely explore job opportunities. By working with us, you can transition back into the workforce while ensuring your disability benefits remain protected.
How Do We Support Your Return to Work?
We support your return to work by providing personalized career counseling, resume building, and job placement assistance. You can assign your Ticket to Work to our employment network to safely test your ability to work while receiving guidance and maintaining your medical and disability benefits.
Returning to work is a positive step, and you do not have to do it alone. We believe in focusing on positive opportunities for your future. Our process involves creating a customized Individual Work Plan that aligns with your specific career goals and personal circumstances. We help you identify jobs that match your physical and mental capabilities, prepare for interviews, and connect you with the right resources.
Can You Protect Your Benefits While Exploring Jobs?
Yes, there are work incentives designed specifically to protect your benefits while you explore work opportunities. When you assign your Ticket to Work to our employment network, the Social Security Administration may not conduct medical reviews, allowing you to keep your Medicare or Medicaid coverage and disability benefits.
We want you to feel completely secure as you transition back to the workforce. You do not need to choose between your health coverage and finding a fulfilling job. Our team will explain exactly how your earnings might affect your benefits, so you can plan with a strategy. If your medical condition prevents you from continuing your job, there are simple ways to restart your monthly payments without having to start a completely new application.
