Mission Possible Employment Services

Advocate for Disability Benefits and registered Employment Network with SSA's Ticket to Work Program Our success rate has averaged 94% over the last 5 years.

Mission Possible Employment Services began as a vocational placement agency, helping people with disabilities to find appropriate employment. Even though we had much success in this endeavor, we quickly realized that employment was not the answer for everyone. We found that many of our clients were unable to manage a full-time position due to deteriorating health issues. For that reason, we began the Social Security Advocacy branch of Mission Possible to assist those in applying for disability insurance who were no longer able to work. The process can be daunting and often intimidating to those who are already struggling with one or more disabilities. We began walking our clients through the process, surprisingly finding success in nearly all of our cases. For those who have already been awarded disability benefits, we offer the SSA's Ticket to Work Program. This is for those whose disability has stabilized or improved to the point that they want to improve their quality of life by going back to work. The program includes a number of Work Incentives that allow you to keep your cash benefits for a time while you have regular paychecks coming in. We assist with benefits counseling, preparation for going back to work, monitoring progress and support throughout the duration of the program. Message, call or email us with questions or interest in our services. We are here for you!

One of the biggest fears about returning to work is, “Will I lose my benefits as soon as I get a paycheck?”

The answer is no. Starting work does not automatically mean your disability benefits disappear.

💡 Here’s something many people don’t know: SSDI and SSI have different rules when you start working.

If you receive SSDI, you may have a Trial Work Period that allows you to test your ability to work for at least 9 months while continuing to receive your full SSDI benefit, regardless of how much you earn during those Trial Work Period months, as long as you report your work and continue to meet Social Security’s disability rules.

SSI works differently. As you earn income, Social Security generally adjusts your SSI payment based on your countable income. Work incentives may also allow Social Security to exclude certain income or disability-related work expenses when calculating your benefit.

Your health coverage may have protections, too. Medicare or Medicaid does not necessarily end just because your cash benefit changes due to work.

This is why understanding your specific benefits before returning to work is so important. The rules are not the same for everyone.

MPES can help you understand the work incentives that may apply to your situation so you can make informed decisions about returning to work.

Yes! Social Security's Ticket to Work program is free and voluntary for eligible people ages 18 through 64 who receive SSDI and/or SSI because of a disability.

But what does "voluntary" actually mean?

💡 Here's something you may not know: You get to choose the Employment Network or other approved service provider you want to work with.

Calling MPES to learn about Ticket to Work does not mean you have committed to participating or assigned your Ticket to us.

You can ask questions, learn how the program works, find out what services MPES provides, and decide whether Ticket to Work and MPES are a good fit for your employment goals.

There is no cost to talk with us and learn about your options.

Sometimes the first step back to work isn't applying for a job. It's simply understanding what's available to you.

For many people receiving disability benefits, the idea of working again brings up an important question:

“What happens to my benefits if I start earning money?”

💡 Here’s something worth knowing: Social Security has work incentives designed to help people with disabilities explore employment without necessarily losing all of their benefits at once.

The rules are different depending on whether you receive SSDI, SSI, or both. Your earnings, where you are in the return-to-work process, and other factors can all matter.

That’s why learning how the rules apply to you before making employment decisions can be so important.

Returning to work can be about more than earning a paycheck. It can mean more breathing room in the household budget, greater independence, and more choices for you and your family.

You don’t have to understand all of the Social Security rules on your own.

As an Employment Network with the Ticket to Work program, MPES can help you understand the path back to work and the supports available along the way.

A workplace accommodation is meant to help you perform your job, but do you know how to actually ask for one?

The right accommodation looks different for every person and every job. It could be modified equipment, a change in how instructions are communicated, an adjusted schedule, changes to your workspace, or another reasonable adjustment that helps address a disability-related barrier.

💡 Here’s something many employees don’t realize: You don’t have to use the words “reasonable accommodation” or mention the ADA to ask for an accommodation.

You can use plain language to let your employer know that you need a change or adjustment at work because of a medical condition.

Accommodations can also be requested during the application or interview process, not just after you've been hired.

And if you're already working, don't feel like you have to wait until a problem becomes serious before asking for help. Ticket to Work recommends requesting an accommodation before difficulties on the job become too serious.

When you're preparing for that conversation, think about:

What barrier are you experiencing?
How is it affecting your ability to do the job?
What change might help?

You don't have to figure it all out alone. An Employment Network like MPES can help you explore possible accommodations and prepare to communicate your needs to an employer.

You do not have to jump straight into full-time work.

If you receive disability benefits, returning to work doesn’t have to mean going from not working to 40 hours a week overnight.

Part-time work can give you an opportunity to learn how working fits with your disability, energy level, appointments, accommodations, and everyday life before deciding whether increasing your hours is right for you.

💡 Did you know?

Social Security has work incentives specifically designed to help people with disabilities transition into employment.

If you receive SSDI, you may have access to a Trial Work Period that allows you to test your ability to work while continuing to receive your full SSDI benefit.

If you receive SSI, the rules are different. Your SSI payment generally adjusts as your countable earnings increase, and other work incentives may help you keep more of your benefit or maintain Medicaid coverage while working.

The important part?

Know which rules apply to you before you make decisions about work.

Part-time, flexible, seasonal, or remote work may be a great place to start and you don't have to navigate all of those Social Security rules alone.

MPES can help you understand your options and support you as you work toward your employment goals.

What does an Employment Network actually do?

Going back to work when you have a disability can come with a lot of questions.

How will working affect my benefits?
What happens if I can only work part time?
What if my disability makes it difficult to keep working?
Should I ask for accommodations?
What do I need to report to Social Security?

That’s where an Employment Network like MPES can help.

We’re here to help you understand the parts of returning to work that can feel complicated while also providing practical employment support like job leads, resumes, applications, interview preparation, and ongoing support as you work toward your goals.

You don’t have to understand every Social Security rule or have your entire return-to-work plan figured out before you begin.

Sometimes the first step is simply having someone in your corner who can help you understand your options and what comes next.

📞 Call MPES at 1-888-359-2366 to learn more about Ticket to Work and the support available to you.

How to Explain a Work Gap:
A gap on your resume doesn't have to dominate the whole interview. Keep your explanation short, honest, and focused on where you are now. You don't need to share private details you're not comfortable sharing. The examples in this post are just starting points; use wording that fits your own situation and sounds natural coming from you.
