Our Vocational Counselors are skilled at resume creation, networking and overcoming barriers to employment. Certified Benefits Counselors are available to talk with you about the impact of earned income on your cash and health benefits.
The Ticket to Work program provides support for Social Security beneficiaries who want to work and earn their way off cash benefits (we can help you keep your health benefits). The program is voluntary and at no cost to you.
