Ability Works LLC: Empowering Individuals through the Social Security Work and Ticket to Work Program
Idaho, USA, December 11, 2024 – As the landscape of employment opportunities evolves, many individuals with disabilities seek paths to financial independence without losing essential Social Security benefits. Ability Works LLC, a leading provider of vocational rehabilitation services, is dedicated to helping these individuals navigate the Social Security Work and Ticket to Work Program, empowering them to re-enter the workforce and achieve their goals.
For individuals receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), returning to work can often seem daunting due to concerns about losing crucial benefits. The Social Security Work Program was designed to alleviate these concerns by offering beneficiaries the opportunity to test their ability to work while maintaining their benefits. Ability Works LLC plays a vital role in this process by providing the resources, guidance, and support necessary to ensure a successful transition into the workforce.
“Our goal at Ability Works LLC is to provide a pathway for individuals with disabilities to achieve financial independence,” said the Executive Director of Ability Works LLC. “Through the Social Security Work program, individuals can gradually explore job opportunities while knowing that their benefits will not be immediately affected.”
The Ticket to Work Program is a voluntary employment program designed by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to help beneficiaries of SSDI and SSI access employment services and support. The program is geared toward individuals who are committed to finding employment, increasing their earnings, and eventually becoming financially independent from Social Security benefits.
Under the Ticket to Work Program, eligible beneficiaries receive a “ticket” that they can use to obtain free employment services from approved providers like Ability Works LLC. These services include job coaching, resume building, skills training, job placement assistance, and ongoing support to help individuals succeed in their chosen careers.
“Ability Works LLC is proud to be an Employment Network in the Ticket to Work Program,” said the Executive Director of Ability Works LLC. “We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to work and pursue a fulfilling career. Our team works one-on-one with participants to help them navigate the job market, develop new skills, and achieve their employment goals.”
One of the key benefits of the Ticket to Work Program is that participants can return to work without immediately losing their Social Security benefits. The program offers a gradual transition, allowing individuals to work and earn income while maintaining access to their benefits for a trial period. This helps to reduce the anxiety and financial risks associated with re-entering the workforce after receiving disability benefits.
For example, during the program’s trial work period, beneficiaries can work for nine months without any reduction in their Social Security benefits, regardless of how much they earn. This allows participants to test their ability to work while receiving full benefits, offering them a safety net as they navigate this important life transition. After the trial work period, there is also a 36-month extended eligibility period, during which participants can still receive benefits if their earnings drop below a certain threshold.
“Many of our clients are excited about the Ticket to Work Program because it gives them the confidence to explore their career options without the fear of losing their benefits,” said the Executive Director of Ability Works LLC. “Ability Works LLC provides the tools and resources to help participants thrive in their new jobs and achieve long-term success.”
