I always look forward to receiving this newsletter! I work for a terrific program for SSA called the Ticket to Work Program which provides beneficiaries who want to go back to work the opportunity to connect them with Employment Networks (ENs) that can help them reach their employment goals, AND by electing to participate in this program, when they assign their Ticket to an EN, the beneficiary can return to work without the risk of losing their SSA disability benefits!
In addition, we work closely with various organizations, Universities, and Employers to show them the additional source of revenue they can have for every Ticket Holder assigned to their organization who returns to work. Check us out on the web at: http://www.cessi.net/ttw/
and by also visiting: http://www.ssa.gov/work/
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me directly at: leslieb@cessi.net
