Date: November 10, 2011
Subject: GAO Report on the Ticket-to-Work Program

Below are links to two reports related to Social Security’s Ticket-to-Work program: one is a full GAO report, and the other is a copy of Senate testimony. GAO and Congress have expressed major concerns regarding the Ticket-to-Work program, and there have been Hill discussions that if the Ticket program is not better managed and does not begin demonstrating results, it could be eliminated entirely.
