Social Security’s Ticket to Work (Ticket) program supports career development for people ages 18 through 64 who receive Social Security disability benefits (SSDI/SSI) and want to work. The Ticket program is free and voluntary.
Social Security Work Incentives are designed to help people with disabilities who receive Social Security disability benefits transition to financial independence through work. If you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or can become eligible for SSI, the Plan to Achieve Self-Support (PASS) is a Work Incentive that helps you set aside income and resources for expenses related to your work goals. To get started, you must submit an application for a PASS to be reviewed and approved by Social Security. Your PASS must be in writing, identify a specific work goal, and identify items and services needed to achieve the work goal.
This Social Security Ticket to Work Fact Sheet - Using Your PASS - provides important information on using your Plan to Achieve Self-Support (PASS).
