New Ticket To Work Regulations!!!

The Social Security Administration (SSA) is pleased to announce exciting improvements to the Ticket to Work Program. These changes were published in the Federal Register on May 20, 2008 and will go in to effect on July 21, 2008. Check out the new regulations at http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2008/pdf/E8-10879.pd

The new Ticket regs should greatly increase the number of EN's over time...and access to EN's for ticket-holders.

Parent-to-Child Deeming From Stepparents

SSA is changing the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) parent-to-child deeming rules so that they no longer will consider the income and resources of a stepparent when an eligible child resides in the household with a stepparent, but that child's natural or adoptive parent has permanently left the household. These rules respond to a decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, codified in Social Security Acquiescence Ruling (AR) 99-1(2), and establish a uniform national policy. Also, we are making uniform the age at which we consider someone to be a ``child'' in SSI program regulations and are making other minor clarifications to our rules.

This final rule is effective on June 16, 2008.
