Our National Reach Approximately, 300,000 Americans with
disabilities currently use our employment support services.
These individuals: • Attend college and other career training programs; • Work at least part time; • Get help on how to keep health coverage after
earning their way off disability benefits; and,• Get help with job prep as well as on going
supports for job retention.

What Makes Us Unique The Ticket is the only program that funds support for
3 to5 years after someone: • starts working full time; and, • leaves disability benefits
These ongoing supports can include: • Help keeping Medicaid or Medicare after leaving
benefits • Help finding accommodations • Career development advice • Financial planning assistance • Troubleshooting • Someone to bounce ideas off of

•Those on SSDI or SSI who work or want to work differ from others in several key ways:
•Of the 13 million Americans with disabilities on SSDI or SSI today:

Most Are Not Working for a Simple Reason ----
They Can’t …
15
![Page 16: Baltimore Federal Executive Board’s 1 st Annual Interagency Human Capital Council](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062720/5681341f550346895d9b0c78/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Roughly 60% are not working due to multiple reasons:
Poor health, including terminal illness Few skills for today’s economy Near retirement Many fear the loss of cash benefits and health coverage if they earn too much
16
![Page 17: Baltimore Federal Executive Board’s 1 st Annual Interagency Human Capital Council](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062720/5681341f550346895d9b0c78/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Significant Numbers Work or Want to Work, However:
In fact, 40% of disability beneficiaries:
Are working, Actively pursuing a job, or Say they want to work in the future
These individuals also tend to be:
Younger Healthier Better educated
Than most other social Security beneficiaries. 17
![Page 18: Baltimore Federal Executive Board’s 1 st Annual Interagency Human Capital Council](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062720/5681341f550346895d9b0c78/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
This is ESPECIALLY TRUE of those using Ticket services:
Nearly half are 39 or younger Over one tenth are under 25 About 80% have at least finished HS Nearly half have some college or training
after HS Many have their entire lives ahead of them.

Hence, for Many. . .
Good Jobs and Good Careers
In Federal Service Could
= Better Self Supporting Futures

Question 3
What Do Ticket Participants Want In an Employer, Job and Career?
They want: Employers they believe will give them an equal chance Employers they trust will not discriminate Employers that are knowledgeable about reasonable accommodations and workplace flexibility
20
![Page 21: Baltimore Federal Executive Board’s 1 st Annual Interagency Human Capital Council](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062720/5681341f550346895d9b0c78/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
They want: Part time work that leads to full time employment Work that pays them what they are worth, not what they are willing to accept Full time jobs that pay more than they would otherwise have by staying on benefits and working part time
21
![Page 22: Baltimore Federal Executive Board’s 1 st Annual Interagency Human Capital Council](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062720/5681341f550346895d9b0c78/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

22
![Page 23: Baltimore Federal Executive Board’s 1 st Annual Interagency Human Capital Council](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062720/5681341f550346895d9b0c78/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Is it any wonder. . .
They want the same types of jobs and careers you and I have in the Federal government???
23

Question 4
Why Should Your Agency
Aggressively Recruit, Employ and Promote Current and Former Disability
Beneficiaries?
24
![Page 25: Baltimore Federal Executive Board’s 1 st Annual Interagency Human Capital Council](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062720/5681341f550346895d9b0c78/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Simple Math:
These individuals make up …
The majority of unemployed and under employed people with disabilities in the U.S.
A large percentage of those with targeted disabilities
A huge pool of untapped talent and labor
25
![Page 26: Baltimore Federal Executive Board’s 1 st Annual Interagency Human Capital Council](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062720/5681341f550346895d9b0c78/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Common Sense and Simple Justice:
If we are to be a model employer and an exemplar to others, we must seek out all not just some talented prospective federal workers with disabilities.
Many current and former beneficiaries are ready, willing and able to fill many types of jobs today
Failure to recruit such individuals is not good business
