Getting the word out about the Ticket To Work (TTW) Program has been one of our main areas of focus, since only about a third of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipients know about this powerful work incentive that’s part of their SSDI benefits.
There are several questions we routinely hear from SSDI recipients:
For people receiving benefits who feel they are ready to get back into the working world, the idea of losing benefits “too soon” or “suddenly” is a very real and significant cause for hesitation. Nobody wants the rug pulled out from under them.
Understanding this concern, the SSA put together the Ticket To Work Program, and some of the common questions individuals asked during its inception continue to be on people’s minds today—as we can see from the videos that rose to the top in 2025.
This offers up the basics of TTW in a quick rundown: what it is and why you should use AES as your Employment Network. Part of that would be our track record of helping thousands return to work successfully.
There continues to be SSDI recipients who have never heard of TTW. It’s important that every recipient know they have this protection as part of their benefits.
Working with AES helps before and after your employment is secured. Before you get hired, AES helps with answering TTW program questions, updating your resume, identifying transferable skills, finding job postings matched to your background and conducting practice interviews.
Check out the video for what we do after you land a job.
This video features Jim Allsup, founder and CEO of AES, making the case that SSDI beneficiaries are unnecessarily limiting their earnings out of fear of losing benefits. He cites research showing 20% of disability recipients can return to work within two years of qualifying, and most do return—but they deliberately cap their income, causing themselves financial harm.
The core message is that the TTW Program offers substantial protections that eliminate this fear. Watch the video to learn how.
This short video explains the personalized support offered by AES. Each beneficiary is assigned their own vocational professional who serves as a single point of contact throughout the return-to-work process.
The vocational professional can help with a range of needs to do with understanding the TTW program and how to secure a role that fits best.
AES is fully staffed with knowledgeable professionals ready to assist in a one-on-one support relationship. Watch the video to see how it all comes together.
It turns out the basic question of who we are is what has been wondered about the most.
