The Disability Program Navigator (DPN) and Ticket to Work programs were created to help the customer with a disability who wants to work, navigate through the complexities of government rules and regulations, overcome barriers, and create strategies for successfully gaining and retaining employment through the Sacramento Works One Stop Career Center system.

Ticket to Work


Are you…
1.   receiving Social Security benefits?
2.   between the ages of 18-64?
3.   want to work?

If you answered "Yes!" to these questions you have a "Ticket to Work"and - most likely - a lot of questions. We can help. The Social Security Administration has approved SETA as an Employment Network to provide SSA beneficiaries with a variety of services and supports to help you plan and achieve your employment goals. Participating in this program is completely voluntary and very flexible. Benefits include career planning and coaching, job search assistance, assessments, resume and interview preparation, access to training and workshops, and benefits planning (WIPA).

Work Incentives Planning & Assistance (WIPA) services can help you to understand how and when your Social Security benefits will be impacted, answer questions about work incentive programs, reporting and other responsibilities.
