Social Security Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program You are invited to submit a proposal in accordance with the requirements of the enclosed solicitation number SSA-RFP-09-0010G, "Employment Networks (EN) for the Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program." The Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program is the centerpiece of the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999. This program provides Social Security beneficiaries with disabilities more choices for receiving employment services. Under this program the Social Security Administration (SSA) is issuing Tickets to eligible beneficiaries who, in turn, may assign those Tickets to an Employment Network (EN) of their choice to obtain employment services, vocational rehabilitation services or other support services necessary to maximize their economic self-sufficiency through work opportunities. An EN shall be either an agency or instrumentality of a State (or political subdivision of the State) or a private entity that assumes responsibility for the coordination and delivery of employment, vocational rehabilitation or other support services to those beneficiaries who have assigned their Tickets to the EN.
