If you were fortunate enough to collect social security disability because of oral cancer I came across an interesting use of your Ticket to Work. This organization was listed on the Ticket to Work website as a Social Security Administration approved Employment Network. I was skeptical but with some research I actually found the documentation from the SSA that showed the business model and request by AAA TakeCharge to become an Employment Network. The premise of AAA TakeCharge is to give people 75% of their Ticket to Work Payment back to the disability insurance recipient. All you have to do is assign AAA TakeCharge your Ticket to Work and after you go back to work, they send you a payment for each month you are not receiving disability payments up to 60 months. It comes out to almost $300 per month. There are some forms to fill out monthly and that's about it.
