The Ticket to Work / Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 is generally referred to as TWWIIA, pronounced "Twee -- uh".
TWWIIA is intended to help people receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits return to work or increase current earnings by:
- Providing a ticket which can be exchanged for vocational training by certified organizations. Vocational training can include career counseling, job placement services, job coaching/training, job accommodation, continuing employment support and transportation assistance.
- Extending Medicare and Medicaid medical benefits that can be cut off when people return to work or even prepare to return to work.
- Providing an expedited reinstatement of income benefits if the return to work isn't successful.
If you qualify for SSDI or SSI, you will receive a letter from the Social Security Administration giving you a ticket number as well as contact information for a private company that will help you find an Employment Network that is right for you.
