Ticket to Work Advertisement Act
Summary
The "Ticket to Work Advertisement Act" (H.R. 7253) aims to amend Title XI of the Social Security Act. It mandates the Commissioner of Social Security to disseminate information about the Ticket to Work program to disabled beneficiaries every six months. This is intended to increase awareness and participation in the program.

- Potential for more disabled individuals to pursue employment.
