2  Can our beneficiaries return to work?  What are our employment support programs?  What outcomes have we observed?  Where are we headed?

3 Can our DI beneficiaries return to work? Some have earnings, but definition of disability is strict

4 What are our employment support programs? Ticket to Work State Vocational Rehabilitation Work Incentive and Planning Assistance (WIPA) Protection and Advocacy for Beneficiaries of Social Security (PABSS)

5 What outcomes have we observed? Ticket to Work (2006 cohort) o 82% had some earnings o 25% had at least one month of non-payment o $8M paid to ENs; $24M in benefits foregone for work State Vocational Rehabilitation (2006 cohort) o 77 % had some earnings o 16 % had at least one month of non-payment o $52M paid to VR; $102M in benefits foregone for work

6 Beyond outcomes: Why else do we have these programs? Many in the disability and policymaking communities consider the opportunity to work a civil right. o The government should offer employment support programs Many believe people with disabilities should have choices.

7 Where are we headed? Additional focus on youth Basic facts about children on SSI: o 32 percent live in poverty o 40 percent are African American o In households headed by a single mother o SSI is not a guaranteed source of income for life SSI young adult outcomes need improvement o Small percentage in college (16 percent) o Small percentage with any earnings (11 percent) Employment support services can work o Youth Transition Demonstration Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act

8 Where are we headed? 503 Regulations Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act: o Department of Labor rules require federal contractors to take affirmative action to recruit, employ, and promote those with disabilities Interagency effort to promote awareness of 503 regulations

9 Where are we headed? Practical improvements Improve outreach / marketing to beneficiaries o Will restart Ticket mailings o Looking at the auto-dial marketing issue NENA/SSA operational workgroup: o Ticket cadre proposal, BPQYs, Earnings Reports, Expedited Reinstatement, and other issues Training of SSA employees

10 Conclusion: Some Bigger Issues to Ponder Will stakeholders want legislative or regulatory changes to SSA’s employment support programs? Will the proposals be fundamental or incremental? What role for early intervention?
