Becoming an EN

Expand Your Organization’s Resources and Serve More Clients

Organizations providing employment support services to individuals with disabilities are excellent candidates to become Employment Networks (EN) with Social Security’s Ticket to Work (Ticket) Program. ENs support career development for people ages 18 through 64 who receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. If your organization would like to expand services, increase unrestricted funding and help individuals with disabilities move toward self-supporting employment, we encourage you to review the Become an Employment Network fact sheet and explore the Benefits of Becoming an EN.
