Abstract

This article examines policies and programs aimed at reducing the number of people receiving disability benefits by helping recipients transition back to full-time employment. The primary focus is the Social Security Administration’s Ticket to Work Program, which has had a very poor track record for returning persons receiving disability benefits back to the workforce. Various alternative approaches are explored, with the intent of providing recommendations for strengthening efforts to more successfully reintegrate people back into the workforce.
