WAKEFIELD, Mass., Feb. 4, 2025
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Brown & Brown Absence Services Group,
LLC, a leader in Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
advocacy services, proudly announces its transition to a
stand-alone Employment Network, expanding its capabilities to
deliver personalized and comprehensive benefit counseling and job
placement services to individuals with disabilities through Social
Security Administration's (SSA) Ticket to Work program.
"This evolution from the affiliate model to
becoming our own Employment Network marks an exciting milestone for
Brown & Brown Absence Services Group," said Michael Shunney, CEO.
Brown & Brown began offering these services in 2022,
previously operating as an affiliate under an Administrative
Employment Network (AEN) model. With this change, Brown & Brown
Absence Services Group has now transitioned to become its own
Employment Network, allowing the company to directly provide a more
personalized suite of services tailored to each Ticketholder's
unique needs. By leveraging its extensive experience in the Ticket
to Work space, the company is poised to deliver a broader array of
services, empowering individuals to achieve greater independence
and financial self-sufficiency.
Comprehensive Support for Beneficiaries
SSA's Ticket to Work program is a voluntary initiative designed
to help eligible SSDI & SSI beneficiaries overcome barriers to
re-entering the workforce - at no cost to them. As a stand-alone
Employment Network, Brown & Brown Absence Services Group now
offers a wide range of services, including resume assistance, job
search and placement, job accommodation advocacy, benefits
counseling and career advancement guidance.
Our services are customized to meet each Ticketholder's unique
needs. Through an individualized planning process, Ticketholders
actively collaborate with us to design a plan that reflects their
goals and priorities. By emphasizing education, financial literacy
and long-term job retention strategies, we help individuals achieve
earnings above the Substantial Gainful Activity level, ultimately
reducing their reliance on cash benefits.
A Proven Track Record and a Bold New Future
"This evolution from the affiliate model to becoming our own
Employment Network marks an exciting milestone for Brown &
Brown Absence Services Group," said Michael
Shunney, CEO. "For decades, we have supported individuals
through life-changing events by providing SSDI advocacy services.
This new model allows us to expand and personalize our services,
ensuring Ticketholders have the tools, resources and guidance they
need to transition back into the workforce and achieve financial
independence."
With over 30 years of experience in disability advocacy and a
set of unique capabilities designed to support beneficiaries
through the Ticket to Work program, Brown & Brown Absence
Services Group is well positioned to deliver these enhanced
services nationwide. The company's commitment to providing
compassionate, comprehensive support underscores its mission to
help customers overcome challenges and achieve meaningful
employment.
