About ENs and the EN Report Card
An EN is a private or public entity that participates in the Ticket to Work program and provides employment, vocational rehabilitation, or other support services to persons who receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits because of a disability. The EN Report Card helps beneficiaries make informed choices regarding their selection of an EN under the Ticket to Work program. The report card is essential to informing ENs about the service expectations and level of satisfaction of Ticket to Work participants and identifies areas in which it may improve performance under the program.
We have already received some input from the public which we have taken into consideration in drafting a proposed revision.
To learn more about the Ticket to Work program, please visit www.socialsecurity.gov/work, e-mail support@chooseworkttw.net, or call 1-866-968-7842 or 1-866-833-2967 (TTY/TDD).

If you're ready to work, the Ticket program can help you get started! SSA no longer sends paper tickets in the mail, so don't worry-you don't need a paper Ticket to participate. If you decide to participate, you can contact any authorized provider in your area to see if the services they offer are right for you.

I want to get a job as soon as possible. It has been a nightmare trying to get a job through vocational rehabilitation services in Newark, DE. I spent more than three years taking trainings, applying to public and private sectors for a position. I also had state interviews. it was for nothing. The State jobs managers denied me a position even thought the positions were available. They sent me letters telling me they felt sorry but the position was filled for someone better qualified than me. The question I ask is how can I have job experience if they do not allow me to work. How disable people who have not worked for several years like me can have the opportunity to work if the state itself do not help us. I have an associated in Human Services/Drug and Alcohol Counseling. I have a bachelor degree in Behavioral Science and I am taking a master degree in Human Services-Organizational Managment and Leadership. I'm bilingual Spanish/Enghish. The vocational rehabilitation services provided me with medical office assistance training to help me finding a job. However, they did not help me how they were supposted to do. That is why I change services. Hope this time be different with the social security. I heard they have more opportunities for us.
thanks,
Jacqueline Ramos
