Welcome to the Web site
of the Ticket to Work and Work
Incentives Advisory Panel. We are pleased to
have you visit and we hope you will find it a great
resource for information about the Ticket to Work and
Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 and its
implementation.
The Ticket to Work
legislation established the Advisory Panel within the
Social Security Administration to advise the President,
the Congress and the
Commissioner of Social Security on issues
related to work incentive programs, planning and
assistance for individuals with disabilities and the Ticket
to Work and
Self-Sufficiency Program
established under this Act. We have an important role to
play in the implementation of this very significant law,
which provides the greatest opportunity for America's
citizens with disabilities to return to work.
We are a bipartisan group of twelve volunteer citizens, four of whom were appointed by the
President, four by the
Senate and four by the House of Representatives. We represent an excellent cross-section of individuals with diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds and with diverse experience and expert knowledge as recipients, providers, disabled veterans, employers and employees in the fields of employment services, vocational rehabilitation and other disability related support services.
