As you set off to make decisions about your future and begin a career, it might be necessary to contact an employment provider agency to assist in your job search. However, choosing the right agency for you can be overwhelming without knowing what questions to ask or how to compare agencies.
The questions offered in Choosing An Employment Provider Agency will help. Refer to this guide as you interview employment provider agencies, and take notes on their answers as you go.

For people with disabilities who work or who want to work, the Social Security Administration has established the Ticket to Work program and other work incentives. These programs encourage and support employees who are receiving benefits so that they can continue to work without the worry of completely losing their health care, supplemental income or housing benefits. In Indiana, workers with disabilities rely on their employment provider agencies to inform them about a wide variety of federal and state work incentive programs and to guide them through the eligibility and application process.
The Center on Community Living and Careers assists Indiana employment providers and Ticket to Work Employment Networks with professional development training, technical assistance, and information about Social Security's Ticket to Work program and other available work incentives.
