In an effort to assist in protecting the integrity and the solvency of our social security system, I believe in these ticket to work programs as they should translate to other states.

To simplify a step by step process, 

Step 1:  disabled person receiving SSI or SSDI goes to their states rehab services office and with the assistance of a counselor develops an IPE (individualized plan for employment) based upon their needs.  For (SSDI)  the rules can be found at https://www.ssa.gov/work/

For both (SSI) and (SSDI) work incentives and how the Social Security Administration may help can be downloaded Social Security   Working while disabled- How we can help may be downloaded http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10095.pdf 

Step 2:  with the assistance of your local city's ENCORE and SCORE programs supported by the U. S. Small Business Administration a mentor can be assigned to assist you in developing a business plan and market your services and/or products.

Step 3.  That business plan once passes requirements by your , a PASS Plan is filed with the help of your local Center for Independent Living and local Security Office or by dialing (800) 772-1213.

Step 4.  Once PASS Plan is excepted, disabled person/client begins to work from home making an income for a trial work period without affecting their benefits and must be a sole proprietorship so as not to complicate the process by involving shareholders or partners.

Step 5.  Legal counsel to assist the consumer/client is referred to your state Bar for any legal guidance through this process.

Step 6.  At the end of the trial work period the consumer/client makes a joint decision with their Social Security Office that they are successful and disability benefits stop and we now have a permanently disabled person returned back to being a productive working class citizen to our American workforce.
