Summary
July 26 marks the ADA’s 36th anniversary, and Allsup Employment Services used the milestone to spotlight free Ticket to Work support for SSDI beneficiaries considering a return to employment.
44.7 million Americans—13.6% of the civilian noninstitutionalized population—live with disabilities, while 2025 unemployment stood at 8.3% for people with disabilities versus 4.1% for those without.
AES, a Social Security-authorized Employment Network, said it provides no-cost career planning, job-readiness help, guidance on SSDI work incentives and long-term employment support to help beneficiaries weigh how earnings could affect benefits.
Corporate disability inclusion has also advanced: since 2024, participating companies reported a 46% rise in short-term disability benefits and a 29% increase in informing candidates about accommodation requests, according to Disability:IN.
