SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

[Docket No. SSA-2011-0096]


Employment Network (EN) Report Card

AGENCY: Social Security Administration.

ACTION: Notice of Webinar and National Teleconference Call Listening 
Sessions--Announcing Two Opportunities for SSA to Hear Public Comments 
on Draft Revised Ticket to Work Consumer Employment Network Report 
Card.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are soliciting the input of beneficiaries, recipients, 
advocates, employment networks (ENs), other professionals, and the 
general public on the draft revised EN Report Card. An EN is a private 
or public entity that participates in the Ticket to Work (TTW) program 
and provides employment services, vocational rehabilitation services, 
or other support services to Social Security Disability Insurance 
beneficiaries and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients who are 
disabled. The EN Report Card is available at: EN Report Card Page. 
Disability beneficiaries and SSI recipients who want help with their 
work goals may use the EN Report Card to help them make informed 
choices about how to select ENs under the TTW program.
    The EN Report Card contains performance information about ENs. This 
information comes from our records, EN records, and beneficiary and 
recipient's satisfaction ratings of their EN.

DATES: In December 2011, there will be two listening sessions--(1) On 
Friday, December 16, 2011, from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. EST, we will invite 
ENs, advocates, and other interested TTW program partners to 
participate in a Webinar and (2) on Monday, December 19, 2011, from 3 
p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST, we will invite our beneficiaries, recipients, 
the public, and those who cannot make the first date to participate in 
a National Teleconference Call. Go to http://socialsecurity.gov/work/ 
beginning December 9, 2011, for information about

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the Webinar and National 
Teleconference Call is to provide a forum for us to obtain input on the 
draft revised EN Report Card. When we launched the report cards earlier 
this year, we committed to inviting ideas for improving the initial EN 
Report Card. We have already received some input from ENs, which we 
have taken into consideration in the proposed draft revision.
    We invite participation in the Webinar and National Teleconference 
Call from people who have an interest in the rules we use to administer 
the TTW program, people who apply for or receive disability benefits or 
SSI payments, members of the public, advocates and organizations who 
represent parties interested in the TTW program, and others.
    This is not a request for written comments and we will not respond 
to comments you send in response to this Notice. We will accept and 
consider oral comments through the Webinar and National Teleconference 
Call. We will then determine whether and how we should adjust the EN 
Report Card.

Commissioner of Social Security.
