Interim ReportMajor Findings
3
Beneficiaries National Beneficiary Survey
• Only about 36% of ticket eligible beneficiaries reported that they had heard of the program.
• TTW participants are far more likely than other beneficiaries to have employment goals and expectations
• Although most TTW participants clearly have employment-related aspirations, many still do not see themselves earning enough to leave disability benefits.
4
Employment Networks
• Increasing EN participation continues to be challenging.
• To break even, ENs need about 23 payments per SSI-only Ticket and 11 payments per DI Ticket.
• ENs average less than1½ payments in the first two years a Ticket is assigned
• It generally takes more than two years for SSA/VR clients to reach 0-benefit status, so we may see improvement in Ticket outcomes.
5
Vocational Rehabilitation
About 90% of all assignments are with VR under
the traditional reimbursement payment option.
6
Other Work Incentive Programs
SSA’s Extended Period of Eligibility and Medicaid While Working (1619 a & b)
provisions were both associated with higher levels of Ticket participation.
