Benefits Planning and Work Incentives Counseling assists Social Security disability beneficiaries ages 14 to full retirement age in understanding how federal disability cash (SSDI/SSI), healthcare (Medicare/Medicaid) and other public benefits are impacted by income from work, providing the assurances needed to make informed decisions about working while disabled. This service also helps individuals identify and strategically use state/federal work incentives that best align with their work goals. Employment Services are provided under the Ticket to Work Program. The Ticket to Work program is uniquely designed for disability beneficiaries ages 18-64, that are currently receiving SSDI or SSI cash benefits, to obtain, maintain or advance in employment. Opportunity Consultants support individuals through the Nebraska Ticket to Work program by delivering career planning, goal setting, resume preparation, job search assistance, community resource navigation and personalized follow-along support. Participants also receive benefits education, healthcare planning and work incentive advisement.
