  1. Show Me the Money! OSECE Conference 2018

  2. What is the Ticket to Work? • Gives SSA beneficiaries, between 18 – 65, the ability to choose where to go for employment services from a list of SSA approved providers. • Gives beneficiaries protection from an SSA medical review (CDR) while using the Ticket. • Protection applies once they assign the ticket and have entered into a work plan with an Employment Network (EN) or State VR agency. Presented by Eugenia M. Cox

  3. TTW Beneficiary Participation If the Beneficiary chooses to come to the State VR agency for employment services then: • The client’s Ticket will be automatically assigned to the SVR agency once an employment plan (IPE) is in place. • The Ticket will not be unassigned until VR case closure. Presented by Eugenia M. Cox

  4. State Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies (VR) • Mandatory participant in the TTW program. • Can function as a general VR agency or as a TTW Employment Network. • Three payment options: • Milestone/Outcome Payments • Outcome Payments • Cost Reimbursement (VR Only) Presented by Eugenia M. Cox

  5. VR Ticket to Work Program:SHOW ME THE MONEY! • Oregon VR has chosen to give IPS Supported Employment agencies, working with VR, a venue to obtain TTW monies • VR facilitates the process and has become the fiscal agent for obtaining these funds. Presented by Eugenia M. Cox

  6. VR/EN Agreement – Mental Health In an effort to build the MH Supported Employment programs, VR chose to start this program with OSECE. • IPS programs must be current vendors with Oregon VR. • Programs refer clients to VR for services as usual. • The IPS program then must send the clients’ names to the TTW Coordinator, preferably monthly, so that the TTW program can be initiated. • VR will assign the ticket and monitor for potential payments. • VR pays the IPS program a pre-established percentage of any TTW payments received for the clients reported. Presented by Eugenia M. Cox

  7. EN Milestone/Outcome Payments - 2018 Presented by Eugenia M. Cox 7

  8. VR/MH Agency TTW Payment Split TTW Phase VR MH Agency Phase 1 50% 50% Phase 2 35% 65% Outcome 20% 80% Presented by Eugenia M. Cox

  9. It’s EASY! Once your program becomes a vendor with VR, and is in a TTW contract, all you need to do is: 1. Report current clients enrolled in VR services to TTW Coordinator monthly. 2. Track quarterly contact with current and graduated IPS clients eligible for TTW payments. • This contact can be from anyone at agency (i.e.; MHS, skills trainer or doctor progress notes.) • Can also be a letter automatically sent quarterly. Presented by Eugenia M. Cox

  10. Why Should We Do This? • Why not get additional funds for the services that you are already performing? • Some programs have received sizeable amounts! • All Agencies together have brought in over $390,000 since program start! • The time it takes to report monthly and track quarterly contact is minimal. Presented by Eugenia M. Cox
