SSA Resumes Processing of Payment Requests
Ticket to Work sent this bulletin at 11/17/2025 04:45 PM ESTSSA Resumes Processing of Payment Requests
Due to the recent lapse in appropriations, the Social Security Administration (SSA) was unable to process payable Employment Network (EN) and State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agency cases, which resulted in a significant backlog.
We are pleased to inform you that SSA has resumed processing payable payment requests.
We are working diligently to process payments as quickly as possible. To help us work through the backlog efficiently, we kindly ask that you refrain from contacting the EN Payment and VR Payment Help Desks regarding payment requests from October 2025.
We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we thank you for your continued partnership in supporting Social Security beneficiaries.
