The Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Advisory Panel will be holding a Beneficiary Summit.

 

What:  The Summit is for individuals who are current or recent beneficiaries of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), Supplemental Security Income

(SSI), Medicare, and/or Medicaid to share their ideas on ways that Social Security disability and other programs can better encourage people who want to

go to work.  There will be no cost to those who attend.  We hope to assemble a diverse group of individuals who represent many racial, ethnic, and cultural

backgrounds, as well as individuals with many different types of disabilities.

 

When:  February 6 and 7, 2007

 

Where:  The Summit will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, and we hope beneficiaries from all around the country will apply to attend.  We are recruiting beneficiary

applicants from across the United States.

 

How:  An application to participate in the Summit is attached, as well as a letter further explaining Summit details.  If possible, please submit your application

via e-mail.  Applications must be submitted or postmarked no later than October 6, 2006.

 

We look forward to receiving your application!
