SSA is distributing tickets to eligible beneficiaries/recipients in three phases,
based on available residence or mailing address information (see DI 55001.001A.1.). During the phase-in period only eligible individuals identified as living in locations
where SSA has phased-in the Ticket to Work program will get tickets. The chart below
gives these locations, by phase. Note that individuals residing in foreign countries
will not get tickets. Also note that DI 55002.045B.1. provides guidance on what to do should a title II beneficiary live in a ticket location
but the mail goes to a non-ticket location (e.g., the beneficiary and his/her representative
payee or legal guardian live in different States).
