The Ticket To Work Program does NOT eliminate the maximum earning restriction. In fact I tried using the Ticket to Work to go back to work pt and it has left me in a real bind. My rep payee was never clearly informed regarding reporting earnings and after I had been working pt for 2 years we received a notice saying my benefits would end. I was earning $400 less per month than my benefit amount and only barely surviving on the combined amounts. They then said I had been overpaid $12,000 and now that I am no longer working they want to take my entire monthly benefit amount for the next 9 months to pay back said overpayment. My advice be very careful with working while on benefits. I will be losing everything I have worked to achieve thus far do to SSDI's strange ideas of incentives to work.
