Once an individual accepts a ticket, they can leave the program voluntarily and go back on to cash assistance. In addition, accepting a ticket and going to work will not trigger a continuing disability review or CDR from Social Security. With House passage of HR 3433, the effort to address Social Security work disincentives moves to the Senate. Participants would be required to pay premiums based on a sliding scale and would receive enhanced Medicare coverage that includes outpatient prescription drugs and personal assistance services.
