Suppose you are receiving Social Security disability benefits but you are improving and thinking of going back to work. How can you venture back into employment if you are unsure whether you will be successful? What is your condition worsens and you have to go back on disability later?
Social Security has the answer for this situation. It's called "Ticket to Work." Very generally, here is what Ticket to Work offers. You may continue receiving full disability benefits while you attempt to work. When you accumulate 9 months of "successful work activity," (the 9 months do not have to be consecutive) - your disability check will be discontinued. However, you may elect to keep receiving Medicare benefits for several years, even while working. If you become disabled again within a certain period of time, you may resume your disability benefits.
Ticket to work provides a safety net for people who are disabled but recovering - and want to return to work without risking all their financial security by doing so. It's a great program for some people. To find out more, call your local Social Security office or dial 1-800-772-1213.
