What benefits does Ticket to Work make available to people with disabilities?
The Ticket to Work legislation has a section that covers employment and a section that covers health care. Title I of the Act establishes the “Ticket to Work and Self Sufficiency Program.” This voluntary program provides improved access to employment training and placement services for people with disabilities who want to work. Title II of the Act establishes the optional Medicaid program, which enabled Washington State to implement the HWD Program. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administers the health care provisions at the federal level.
