Social Security’s Timely Progress Requirements (TPR) Tip Sheet

Please note: This tip sheet was developed to assist staff in understanding and discussing Social Security’s Timely Progress Requirements with consumers at the time of IPE development and as appropriate throughout the DVR process.

To determine if a consumer is making progress towards their employment goal, Social Security has Timely Progress Requirements which participants in the Ticket program and Cost Reimbursement program must meet in order to maintain protection from medical Continuing Disability Reviews (CDR’s).

These requirements are a combination of work and/or educational attainment which are to be met on an annual basis. A list of Timely Progress Requirements can be found at: http://dwd.wisconsin.gov/dvr/social-security/ttw-progress-requirements.htm

As it is the consumer’s responsibility to report their timely progress to Ticket Program Manager, DVR has determined we will not respond to timely progress requests from Ticket Program Manager. When requested by the consumer, DVR can assist them in responding to Ticket Program Manager and can provide them with case information to assist in reporting their timely progress.
