News to Know

Important! Complete Your APOR! 

It’s the beginning of a new year and time to complete the mandatory Employment Network (EN) Annual Performance Outcome Report (APOR).

The deadline for completing the APOR is February 24, 2025.

Be sure to use the link that was sent to your EN’s Signatory Authority in the email message titled, “2025 Annual Performance Outcome Report (APOR) Survey,” sent today, from ssaenapor@yourtickettowork.ssa.gov via SurveyMonkey.

Failure to complete the APOR by the deadline is a violation of your EN’s Ticket Program Agreement (TPA) and could result in Social Security limiting your EN’s ability to assign Tickets, receive payments, or in termination of your Agreement.

Please visit APOR Frequently Asked Questions for more information on how to complete the APOR. If you have any additional questions, please send an email message to ssaenapor@yourtickettowork.ssa.gov with the subject line “APOR Assistance.” Please include your PID number on the subject line.

Remember to also complete your SSA 222 Security Awareness Forms. The forms must be reviewed and signed in the date window from January 27, 2025- February 24, 2025. If you have more than one staff person, the SSA 222 Addendum should be signed by your Signatory Authority or Suitability Contact and submitted to TTW222@ssa.gov. Include your EN Name and PID in the subject line of the email.
