Dear DDS Stakeholders and Constituents:

The Ticket To Work program supports career development for people ages 18 
through 64 who receive Social Security disability benefits (SSDI/SSI) and 
want to work. Monthly Work Incentive Seminar Events (WISE) webinars offer 
you the opportunity to learn more about Social Security programs, Work 
Incentives and other resources that may help you or someone you know on the 
path to financial independence through work. See details below on how to 
register for the upcoming webinar regarding reasonable accommodations.

I would encourage you all to subscribe to the Social Security 
Administration's weekly digest bulletin to stay informed of future 
opportunities like this and other information related to Social Security at:

[Ben holding a blue puzzle piece that represents reasonable 
accommodations]Join us on July 24 for our next WISE webinar!

During this month's webinar, we'll welcome special guests from the Job 
Accommodation Network (JAN), who will talk about how reasonable 
accommodations can help you on the path to financial independence through 
work.

Discover the answers to questions like:

  *   What is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)?
  *   What do the ADA and reasonable accommodations mean for my employment 
opportunities?
  *   How can a Ticket to Work service provider help me with reasonable 
accommodations?

This will be the second in a series of webinars that discusses many of the 
puzzle pieces (the resources, supports and services) that can help you 
identify, pursue and reach your career goals.
