Sec. 411.220  What if my ticket is no longer assigned to an EN or State 
VR agency?

    (a) If your ticket was once assigned to an EN or State VR agency and 
is no longer assigned, you are eligible for an extension period of up to 
three months to reassign your ticket. You are eligible for an extension 
period if your ticket is in use and no longer assigned because--
    (1) You retrieved your ticket because you were dissatisfied with the 
services being provided (see Sec. 411.145(a)) or because you relocated 
to an area not served by your previous EN or State VR agency; or
    (2) Your EN went out of business, is no longer approved to 
participate as an EN in the Ticket to Work program, or is no longer 
willing or able to provide you with services as described in Sec. 
411.145(b), or your State VR agency stopped providing services to you as 
described in Sec. 411.145(b).
    (b) During the extension period, the ticket will still be considered 
to be in use. This means that you will not be subject to continuing 
disability reviews during this period.
    (c) Time spent in the extension period will not count toward the 
time limitations for the timely progress guidelines.
    (d) The extension period--
    (1) Begins on the first day on which the ticket is no longer 
assigned (see Sec. 411.145); and
    (2) Ends three months after it begins or when you assign your ticket 
to a new EN or State VR agency, whichever is sooner.
    (e) If your extension period began during the initial 24-month 
period, and you reassign your ticket to an EN or State VR agency (other 
than the EN or State VR agency to which the ticket was previously 
assigned), you will have a new initial 24-month period when you reassign 
your ticket. This initial 24-month period will begin with the first 
month beginning after the day on which the reassignment of your ticket 
is effective under Sec. 411.150(c).
    (f) If you do not assign your ticket by the end of the extension 
period, the ticket will no longer be in use and you will once again be 
subject to continuing disability reviews.
