PART 411_The Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program--Table of Contents
 
           Subpart B_Tickets Under the Ticket to Work Program
 
Sec. 411.120  What is a ticket under the Ticket to Work program?


    (a) A ticket under the Ticket to Work program is a document which 
provides evidence of the Commissioner's agreement to pay, under the 
rules in subpart H of this part, an employment network (EN) or a State 
VR agency to which a disabled beneficiary's ticket is assigned, for 
providing employment services, vocational rehabilitation services, and 
other support services to the beneficiary.
    (b) The ticket is a red, white and blue document approximately 
6 by 9 in size. The left side of the document 
includes the beneficiary's name, ticket number, claim account number and 
the date we issued the ticket. The ticket number is 12 characters and 
comprises the beneficiary's own social security number, the letters 
``TW'' and a number 1, 2, etc. A number 1 in the last position would 
signify that this is the first ticket the beneficiary has received, 
consistent with Sec. 411.125(b).
    (c) The right side of the ticket includes the signature of the 
Commissioner of Social Security, and the following language:

    This ticket is issued to you by the Social Security Administration 
under the Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program. If you want help 
in returning to work or going to work for the first time, you may offer 
this ticket to an Employment Network of your choosing or take it to your 
State vocational rehabilitation agency for services. If you choose an 
Employment Network and it agrees to take your ticket, or if you choose 
your State agency and you qualify for services, these providers can 
offer you the services you may need to go to work.
    An Employment Network provides the services at no cost to you. The 
Social Security Administration will pay the Employment Network if you 
assign your ticket to it, and the Employment Network helps you to go to 
work and complies with other requirements of the Program. An Employment 
Network serving under the Program has agreed to abide by the rules and 
regulations of the Program under the terms of its agreement with the 
Social Security Administration for providing services under the Program. 
Your State agency can tell you about its rules for getting services.
