If you've been forced out of your previous employment due to an injury or health condition, you may have turned to the Social Security disability benefits system for assistance. However, if your condition improves, you may find yourself in a difficult situation: returning to work could mean losing your stable income and health insurance. That's where the Ticket to Work program comes in.
At Disability Services of America, we've been helping individuals return to work while receiving SSI and SSDI benefits for over 10 years. As a leading Employment Network contracted through the Social Security Administration, we can help you maximize your benefits and secure employment through the Ticket to Work program. If you're interested in taking advantage of this program, please call (888) 689-6760 to get started.
