AARP Publishes Article Highlighting Allsup Employment Services Beneficiaries

AARP has published an article showcasing Allsup Employment Services (AES), an SSA-authorized Employment Network (EN), and its clients, highlighting the transformative impact of the Ticket to Work Program. This initiative assists individuals who receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits in finding employment and achieving financial self-sufficiency without the immediate risk of losing their benefits. The article details how the program supports beneficiaries in their journey back into the workforce, offering free employment services, vocational rehabilitation, job training and placement assistance.

Success stories featured in the article include Marshalla C., who after recovery from a traumatic brain injury, works as a wheelchair assistant at an airport, and others who have reentered the workforce or started new careers. These examples highlight the program's impact on financial independence and confidence for individuals with disabilities, with AES providing essential, personalized support.

The combined benefit of the SSDI and Ticket to Work Program is critical for millions of American workers with severe disabilities. Many beneficiaries are unaware that Ticket to Work is part of their SSDI benefits. AARP's article raises awareness, aiming to inspire more people to utilize these benefits and encourage employers to hire individuals with disabilities by showcasing real-life success stories.
