We participate in the Ticket to Work Program which is an employment program for people with SSA disability benefits who are 18 – 64 years old, interested in financial independence, and who have a “ticket” available for assignment. If you give that “ticket” to FLIC, we can:

  • Help you secure employment that can help you reach your occupational and financial goals
  • Offer career counseling
  • Offer job search support
  • Advise you on your Social Security work incentives
  • Offer you financial wellness resources
  • Provide you with long-term support in these endeavors

Assigning your “ticket” is voluntary and there is no fee or risk involved.
