SSA is requesting to incorporate a new
modality of the collection instrument Form SSA-1370, an electronic,
web-based version of the individual work plan to assist Ticket to
Work program participants to take advantage of increased employment
opportunities via virtual job fairs. Through its Ticket to Work
Program Manager, SSA uses the information collected to operate and
manage the Ticket to Work Program. SSA uses the Ticket to Work
Program to assign Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries to a service
provider, and follows their progress through the various stages of
ticket program participation such as progress reviews or changes in
ticket status. Most of the collections in this request require
service providers to provide information to SSA for such tasks as
selecting a payment system or requesting payments for helping the
beneficiary achieve certain work goals. Most of the categories of
information collected in this request are required for SSA to be in
compliance with the Ticket to Work legislation and provide proper
oversight of the program. The respondents are SSDI beneficiaries
and blind or disabled SSI beneficiaries and their employment
networks or State vocational rehabilitation agencies under the
Ticket to Work Program.
