Predicting rehabilitation outcome for supplemental security income and Social Security Disability Income recipients: Implications for consideration with the ticket to work program

The study investigates the relationship between type of rehabilitation service provided and rehabilitation outcome for individuals who receive Supplemental Disability Income or Social Security Disability Income. In addition, four demographic variables of race, gender, age, and education were examined. Results indicate that job placement, on-the-job training, restoration, miscellaneous training, college or university training, and other services (not otherwise classified) contributed to the explanatory value of the model. The provision of job placement services was found to be of particular importance. Findings are consistent with other studies and indicate the need for provision of job placement services to individuals under the Ticket to Work program implemented by the Social Security Administration.
