ERI PLUS America - Put Your Ticket to Work for You!
ERI PLUS America is an Employment Network under the Ticket to Work Program funded by the Social Security Administration that supports workers with disabilities to maintain employment.
- ERI PLUS America offers payments to ticket holders who are already working:
TicketShare: A direct cash payment to ticket holders (up to 75% of the monthly ticket payment or potentially $275+ per payment) to support work related expenses such as car payments, childcare, bus-fare, clothing, technology, etc.
How We Are Unique:
We want to meet the needs of ticket holders already working as well as advance our mission of increasing community employment opportunities of all people with disabilities. Income generated through our Ticket to Work Program is used to fund services that enhance community employment opportunities.
About the Ticket to Work Program
- Ticket to Work is a program developed by the Social Security Administration (SSA) as a support structure for SSA recipients to seek and maintain employment.
- Ticket to Work is designed for SSA recipients who have a goal of becoming financially independent.
- Approved employment support providers (called Employment Networks or ENs) receive monthly payments from SSA for assisting beneficiaries in increasing work earnings. These periodic help to cover the costs of employment services.
