Welcome to the Social Security Ticket to Work Beneficiary Satisfaction Survey.
Why did I receive this invitation? ▾
- You were randomly chosen from everyone who receives Social Security disability benefits (SSDI/SSI) and is between the ages of 18 through 64. This means you’re eligible for Social Security’s Ticket to Work (Ticket) Program.
Why should I complete the survey? ▾
- The survey asks about your awareness of the Ticket Program, your experience receiving services from an Employment Network (EN) and your work experience.
- Your responses will contribute to the most accurate, up-to-date information about awareness and participation in the Ticket to Work Program.
- To make sure the results of the survey represent everyone eligible for the Ticket Program, it is very important to hear from everyone who received the survey invitation.
What is the Ticket Program? ▾
- Social Security’s Ticket to Work Program supports career development for people ages 18 through 64 who receive Social Security disability benefits (SSDI/SSI) and want to work.

If I’ve never heard of the Ticket Program or don’t currently use an Employment Network, should I still take the survey? ▾
- Yes! Your answer will help us learn more about people who have not heard of the program or who have chosen not to use an EN.
Will the survey affect my Social Security disability benefits? ▾
