Abstract: SSA plans to survey two groups of Social Security beneficiaries who qualified for the Ticket to Work (TTW) program. One group will have chosen to enter the program, while the other group did not. The survey will gather information on the media and social interaction preferences of both groups, which it hopes to 1) compare and contrast and 2) eventually parlay into developing a better communications plan to convince more beneficiaries to join the program. The respondents are beneficiaries who qualified for the TTW program.
