The Social Security Administration (SSA) has a vested interest in helping disability beneficiaries and recipients return to or enter the world of work. The Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services (ADRS) shares that goal. Beneficiaries of SSDI and recipients of SSI can get help from the Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services to reach employment goals.
ADRS is an approved provider under SSAs TIcket To Work (TTW) program. To learn how to assign your Ticket to ADRS and discover how the TTW program can help you fulfill your employment goals, visit ADRS TTW FAQs. Our list of Frequently Asked Questions can help you get started on the path toward greater self-sufficiency.
If you are currently seeking employment or have a job offer and need to know the impact of work on your benefits, the Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services has trained certified Community Work Incentive Coordinators (CWICs) to help you. These CWICs help SSDI/SSI beneficiaries and recipients make informed decisions regarding how employment may affect their current and future benefit status. This information provides increased opportunity for SSA beneficiaries and recipients to take advantage of available work incentives. To get help, contact the toll free ADRS Benefits Counseling Information & Referral Hotline at 877-816-4607.
