Navigation Working While on Disability- What That Means for You
Many people faced with disabilities wonder if should their condition improve or if they are offered a good opportunity, can they work? That is a good question and Social Security has programs in place to help people get back in the work force, if they are able. These programs are the Social Security’s work incentives and Ticket to Work programs. These programs allow you to work and continue to receive your disability monthly payments. As a rule, Social Security requests that you notify them any time you try to work.
The first program is the Ticket to Work program. Under this program you can receive free vocational rehabilitation, training, job referrals, and other employment support. You will not undergo any medical reviews while you are using the free ticket and making timely progress towards your plans for work. The Ticket to Work helpline is 1-866-YOURTICKET (1-866-968-7842) or you can visit the Ticket to Work website.
