Maximus Issues Ticket To Work Newsletter

Maximus, the prime contractor for the Ticket to Work program, has issued its Winter 2007 Newsletter, with information about implementation of the program. The Newsletter continues the annoying practice of referring to the "Maximus Ticket to Work" program, as if the program exists to provide work for Maximus (although that may be what it amounts to).

The Newsletter provides an interesting chart showing employment network payments for 2007. For instance, providing rehabilitation which keeps a person entitled to Disability Insurance Benefits off benefits entitles the organization providing the rehabilitation to $378 per month, up to a maximum of $22,680. Despite these high reimbursement amounts, few rehabilitation organizations join the employment networks and few Social Security disability recipients get rehabilitated.
