The purpose of this project was to explore and describe the opinions and attitudes of potential Employment Networks (ENs) as factors in the successful implementation of the Ticket to Work-Work Incentives Improvement Act, PL 106-170. This groundbreaking legislation, which allows for beneficiary choice in a vocational rehabilitation provider, can be conceptualized in terms of supply and demand. The "demand" side of the law is reflected in the number of beneficiaries who are interested in receiving services to become employed. The "supply" side is simply the number of rehabilitation providers who are equally interested in becoming ENs, and assisting beneficiaries in obtaining employment.

520 $a The purpose of this project was to explore and describe the opinions and attitudes of potential Employment Networks (ENs) as factors in the successful implementation of the Ticket to Work-Work Incentives Improvement Act, PL 106-170. This groundbreaking legislation, which allows for beneficiary choice in a vocational rehabilitation provider, can be conceptualized in terms of supply and demand. The "demand" side of the law is reflected in the number of beneficiaries who are interested in receiving services to become employed. The "supply" side is simply the number of rehabilitation providers who are equally interested in becoming ENs, and assisting beneficiaries in obtaining employment.
520 $a This project proposed to assist the Social Security Administration (SSA) in maximizing the recruitment and maintenance of ENs by surveying a sample of the community of private, for-profit and non-profit vocational rehabilitation providers who have elected not to participate in the Ticket to Work-Work Incentives Improvement Act (Ticket) program as an EN. This project helped to determine what specific barriers/issues have prevented greater participation in the program by this group of rehabilitation-providers.
520 $a The researcher also used the survey to explore three additional areas related to the potential ENs. They were (1) the respondents' need for technical assistance and training; (2) their opinions regarding how the Ticket program could be integrated into the current SSA disability determination process; and (3) what effect, if any, did their geographic location, size of their organization, or number of services they provided, impact their decision to participate in the Ticket program.
520 $a This survey research accomplished two primary objectives. The first objective was to determine which factors most heavily influenced the decision of potential ENs not to participate in this program. The second objective was to determine the relationship between (a) the Ticket program components, and the demographic characteristics of participants, and (b) the decision of rehabilitation providers not to participate as an Employment Network. These objectives were accomplished primarily by the use of a web-based survey.
520 $a In conclusion, the most pervasive result of this survey was the fact that many ENs are simply unaware of the many nuances and complexities of the Ticket program and are extremely reluctant to participate in the program as presently structured. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that SSA consider modifying the Ticket program so that it is more 'supply-side' oriented, and engage in a concerted effort at educating the provider community on ways in which the Ticket program can be successful for them. In this way, both SSA and its beneficiaries can have the access to return-to-work services that they deserve. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
