Beneficiaries

                            

     Certified Placement Services LLC is a Social Security Ticket to Work Administrative Employment Network (EN). We are an organization that functions as an EN of Record and provides administrative support for Ticket operations through   an agreement with affiliate partners, other providers and/or individuals.

If you are age 18 to 64 and you receive Social Security disability benefits then you are likely eligible for Ticket to Work through the Employment Network. Certified Placement Services can give you access to these benefits free of charge!

CPS provides individualized services to meet the needs of each client based on his/her chosen employment goal and service needs. The beneficiary’s goal should ultimately be to cease receipt of disability benefits by finding work at a level that allows them to be self-sustaining. We assess skills, abilities, functional limitations, educational and employment background, and interest to ensure that the beneficiary gets the best opportunity to be successful. 


Beneficiary Rights

+ All personal information on program participants is kept private and confidential.

+ EN services are provided by qualified employees, including contracted services. If medical or related health services are contracted, they will be provided under the supervision of persons licensed by the state to prescribe or supervise the provision of such services.

+ While a ticket is assigned, Social Security conducts annual reviews to determine the beneficiary’s progress in moving towards self-supporting employment.

+ Beneficiaries are expected to provide evidence of earnings to the EN, or consent to have the EN contact their employers to obtain such evidence.

+ If dissatisfied with the services the EN is providing, the beneficiary can initiate the dispute resolution process available to Ticket program participants, seek assistance from the Protection and Advocacy for Beneficiaries of Social Security (PABSS) program, or exercise the right to unassign the ticket.

+ Work incentives are Social Security programs and rules that beneficiaries can use to reduce their countable income to continue receiving cash benefits while initially exploring work.
