WISH TO START WORKING IN HOUSTON TEXAS.TWIC CARD NEEDED
Hello Ray, We’re happy to hear you’re interested in working! You no longer need a paper ticket to participate. If you are age 18 through 64 and you already receive SSDI or SSI, then you qualify for the Ticket program. To get started on participating in the program, we suggest that you contact several providers in your area to find the one that best meets your needs. Use our Find Help tool at www.choosework.net/resource/jsp/searchByState.jsp or call 1-866-968-7842 (V) or 1-866-833-2967 (TTY/TDD) to speak to a Ticket to Work representative.
They have slowly whittling away at the coverage of needed RX's to function so those of us who would like nothing better than to join the world of the happily employed are unable to, because we no longer are covered for the meds we need that would enable this to happen.
Until this vicious cycle is stopped the workplace will have to continue without the use of some of the best, loyal, and happy to be employed people, that of course is the disabled workers. Of all the things I miss the most, working.
Hello, we understand your concerns. The good news is that the Ticket program may be able to provide you the support you need to return to work. As long as you continue to receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, you will continue to remain eligible for the same medical coverage. As long as you continue to receive SSDI or SSI benefits, you will continue to remain eligible for the same medical coverage.We suggest you call our Ticket to Work Help Line at 1-866-968-7842 (V) or 1-866-833-2967 (TTY/TDD) to talk to a representative about your personal situation.
