AHEDD has been an Employment Network with Social Security Administation’s Ticket To Work Program since its inception in 2001. Employment Networks (ENs) are public or private organizations that are authorized by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to provide a variety of employment services to adults ages 18 through 64 who receive SSA disability benefits (SSI/SSDI) and want to work.
An Administrative Employment Network (AEN) is a group of service providers organized under a single EN of record (e.g. AHEDD) to forces as part of a national initiative to improve employment outcomes for beneficiaries with disabilities. An AEN partnership is executed with a written agreement that defines the roles and responsibilities of participating organizations as well as those of the EN. The agreement specifies how Ticket payments will be distributed to participating organizations, including how the EN is compensated for handling the administrative tasks. AHEDD’s AEN is known as the PA Employment Network (PA EN).
