Your ticket to a career you choose
NewView Oklahoma: Your Local Employment Network
NewView Oklahoma helps you use your Social Security Ticket to Work benefits to find a job that fits your goals and your abilities.
Ticket to Work is a free, voluntary program through the Social Security Administration. It’s designed for people ages 18 to 64 who receive Social Security disability benefits (SSDI or SSI) and want to work. The program connects you with services and support so you can move toward employment at your own pace, without putting your benefits at risk.
Protecting your benefits
while you work
Going back to work doesn’t mean losing everything overnight. Ticket to Work includes built-in safety nets:
(SSDI)
Ease into working without the fear of losing everything at once. For up to nine months, you can test your ability to work while still receiving your full benefits, no matter how much you earn during that time. It’s a real trial run, with no penalty for giving it a try.
(SSDI)
After your trial period, you can keep receiving benefits for 36 more months in any month your earnings fall below the substantial gainful activity limit.
SSI works differently than SSDI. Your check adjusts gradually as you earn more, and Medicaid can often continue even if your cash payment drops to zero. SSI also ignores the first portion of your monthly earnings before reducing your check, so working still pays off.
While you’re making steady progress, Social Security won’t conduct a Continuing Disability Review, and Medicare coverage can continue for a period even after your cash benefits stop.
