The SSA Ticket to Work Program
How It Works & How Susan Puts It to Work for You
The SSA’s Ticket to Work program is a free, voluntary program that helps people with disabilities ages 18–64 move toward financial independence. One of the biggest fears for anyone on SSI or SSDI is losing benefits before they’re truly ready. Ticket to Work is designed to address exactly that, allowing you to explore employment and build toward self-sufficiency without an automatic loss of your benefits.
The program works by connecting eligible beneficiaries with approved Employment Networks; organizations and providers who deliver the actual employment services. Maine Vocational Solutions is one of those approved providers, through its membership in the American Dream Employment Network (ADEN).
Maine Vocational Solutions & ADEN
How We Validate Your Ticket to Work
ADEN is a division of the National Disability Institute and the first national Employment Network to offer in-person services to Ticket holders nationwide. As an ADEN member, Maine Vocational Solutions brings that national framework to your doorstep — with personalized, one-on-one support that larger networks simply can’t provide.

Medicare Set-Aside Reporting
Expert MSA reporting. Compliant settlements. Protected clients.
Settling a workers’ compensation claim is complicated. Making sure Medicare is protected — and your settlement holds up — doesn’t have to be.
When a settlement includes funds for future medical care, federal law requires that Medicare’s interests be protected. Failing to do so can result in legal action and loss of Medicare benefits. A Medicare Set-Aside (MSA) Allocation is the mechanism that ensures compliance — a detailed report identifying anticipated future medical expenses and confirming what Medicare will and won’t cover.
Maine Vocational Solutions provides expert MSA Allocation reporting services for claims professionals, structured settlement brokers, and legal representatives navigating this process.
What Set-Aside Looks Like
With Maine Vocational Solutions
- Pre-settlement case review & consultation
- Assessment of whether an MSA Allocation is required
- Social Security Disability status & entitlement assessment
- Medical record review & cost analysis
- Full Set-Aside Trust Allocation report preparation
- Medical release preparation & execution
- CMS submission & approval coordination
- Medicare lien confirmation
The system is complicated. Every situation is different.
Susan makes it clear, accurate & right for you.
