Some of that effort involves reevaluating the way a 23-year-old back-to-work program called Ticket to Work has worked. To hear economist David Stapleton describe it -- not terribly well.

SSDI's Ticket to Work program helps beneficiaries explore jobs without losing benefits, offering support for a stable return to work.

Ticket to Work has too often been under-marketed and overlooked. As a result, this return-to-work apparatus for former workers remains underutilized and unknown.

The Ticket to Work program by the Social Security Administration offers a pathway to financial independence for individuals with disabilities.

This Social Security Administration program is underused and underpromoted, yet hundreds of thousands of American workers could access its benefits.
