Lupus Support Group

Lupus is an auto-immune disease in which the immune system cannot distinguish between threats (like viruses and bacteria), and healthy cells and tissue. As a result, the body produces antibodies that inflict cell damage, most commonly targeting joints, skin, kidneys and the nervous system. Join the group and find support for coping with lupus.

Social Security and Ticket-to-Work program

Hi, I have been on Social Security disability since 1995. I am coming out of a flare-up and would like to try and work part time. I'm wondering if Social Security would pay for job training and if anyone has done this using the ticket-to-work program. Any input on your experience with attempting to work when on disability would be helpful. Thanks and blessings, Mariann

I don't know about job training but in MA they allow you to make a certain amount of money while still getting your benefits. I believe it's somewhere between $600-800 additional per month without losing your ssdi.

If you are interested in the Ticket to Work Program you could go online to the Social Security website, and enter in the search "Ticket to Work Program", and it'll give you the information on what you need to do to participate.
I have just recently received my Ticket to Work, but I haven't utilized it because I am currently working part-time.
I am though, hanging on to it just in case I lose my current job so I can utilize the services this program offers.
