Ticket to Work

Let's look at the next program, which is the Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program. This is another work incentive that is available to individuals that has only been around since the Ticket to Work legislation was passed in 1999. This is basically a vocational program. Like the Ticket to Work program, it's designed to give the individual greater choice and control in directing their rehabilitation and employment process. Basically, what happened was the eligibility beneficiary gets a ticket that they then can deposit with an approved employment network. They can then access goods and services that they need to reach their employment goal from that employment network. The goal of this program is to give the person greater choice and control.
