The number of individuals receiving benefits through Social Security disability programs (SSI and SSDI) has grown over the past decade. Unfortunately, once individuals become eligible for disability benefits, very few ever terminate Socials Security participation by returning to work. To address this problem, the Social Security Administration has developed several return to work initiatives, including an alternate provider program and a "return to work ticket proposal.
