Yes. But depending upon the amount of help that your state VR agency or the other Employment Network already gave you, Maximus, the contractor who Social Security hired to administer the Ticket Program, may decide that some percentage of your initial Ticket payments should still go to the original agency. Maximus makes these decisions on a case-by-case basis. You will receive a portion of whatever amount Able Ready receives for your Ticket. If you are not certain of the status of your Ticket call Maximus at 1-866-968-7842 and ask.
Ticket Holders are only allowed to work with one EN or state VR agency at a time. If your ticket has been assigned to the Ticket To Working EN then you cannot work with your state VR agency unless you first un-assign your ticket from Able Ready. If you want to switch your Ticket from your state VR agency to Able Ready, you must first initiate a request to your state VR agency to close your case—which is your right to do so at any time. Once your VR case is closed you can assign your Ticket to Able Ready.
If you decide to switch your Ticket you must first contact Ticket to Work at 1-866-968-7842 and request that your ticket be unassigned from the current EN. Once the ticket is unassigned you can complete the assignment process with Able Ready by completing the IWP.
