Audience: People with disabilities (including Social Security beneficiaries), their family members, service providers, and employers.
Tickets to Work

Participants are given a general overview of the components of Social Security's new Ticket to Work Program and receive practical advice on how a Social Security beneficiary can use a "ticket" to receive employment services.
