Allsup Employment Services Expert To Present At United Spinal Association Work Readiness Program
2024年7月12日 - 3:27AM
Allsup Employment Services (AES) Manager Rachel Deick will be
featured as part of the United Spinal Association’s Work Readiness
& Education Program during a virtual presentation Tuesday, July
23, 2024. AES is a Social Security Administration-authorized
Employment Network (EN) and subsidiary of Allsup, the nation’s
premier disability representation company. This collaboration
highlights the shared mission of Allsup Employment Services and the
United Spinal Association, a nationwide nonprofit organization, to
support individuals with disabilities in achieving greater
independence and quality of life.
During this free virtual event, Deick, Manager of Vocational
Case Management, will discuss the Social Security Administration’s
Ticket to Work (TTW) Program and employment opportunities for
people with spinal conditions. As an EN, Allsup Employment Services
has helped thousands return to work through TTW, a free program
available to all Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
recipients. Deick is a vocational rehabilitation expert and has 12
years of experience in vocational rehabilitation, case management,
Medicaid waiver services, and disability services in higher
education.
United Spinal Association’s Work Readiness Program is designed
to support the pursuit of job opportunities for all wheelchair
users, including people with spinal cord injury or disorder
(SCI/D). The program provides access to resources for people who
want to return to work, including information about benefits,
transitioning to employment, how-to guides, and guidance on
removing barriers to employment, as well as access to mentors who
have successfully returned to work after injury or diagnosis.
Interested individuals may register online for the free 13-week
program.
“I am delighted to represent AES for this very important
discussion on the Ticket to Work Program, as well as the services
we provide as a Social Security-approved Employment Network,” Deick
said. “Too few people with disabilities, including those with
spinal injuries and disorders, fully understand the value of Ticket
to Work or how this free program can help them transition back to
work if they are medically able—without losing disability income or
benefits.”
As a long-time champion of United Spinal Association, AES
participates in virtual and in-person events designed to demystify
the TTW Program and highlight employment services and resources for
disability beneficiaries who would like to return to work. United
Spinal’s Work Readiness Program also supports employers interested
in ensuring that people with disabilities are represented in their
workforce by providing guidance and resources in recruitment,
onboarding, and accommodations through trainings and distributing
job opportunities to our national network of members and 50
chapters.
The virtual event covering the Ticket to Work Program will be
held on Tuesday, July 23, 2024.
