ubject: Ticket Act service provider: your WIPA project’s experiences matter!

Dear Ticket Act Service Provider:

As a Work Incentives Planning and Assistance (WIPA) project delivering Ticket Act services, you have an important perspective on providing Ticket Act program services, the extent to which Ticket Act services meet Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Insurance beneficiaries’ needs, features of the Ticket Act programs that work well, and areas for improvement.

We have invited your project to take part in the Ticket Act Provider Survey for WIPA Projects but have not yet heard from you. This national survey is part of an evaluation the Social Security Administration (SSA) is conducting about Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act programs. SSA hired Mathematica, an independent research firm, to carry out the evaluation and to field this survey.

About the survey. We are asking you to take part in this voluntary survey, responding on behalf of your WIPA project. The survey takes about 38 minutes to complete, including time spent gathering information or consulting with others, as needed.

Mathematica will send you $40 for completing the survey.

Taking part is voluntary. You may skip any questions you do not want to answer. To protect your privacy, Mathematica will not share your answers in any way that reveals who you are unless required to do so by Federal laws, regulations, and directives.

Have questions or need help? If you have questions, or if someone else at your WIPA project should complete the survey, please call me at XXX-XXX-XXX.

Sincerely,

Holly Matulewicz

Survey Director at Mathematica
