# §411.355. What payment options does a State VR agency have?

- (a) The Ticket to Work program provides different payment options that are available to a State VR agency for providing services to disabled beneficiaries who have a ticket. A State VR agency participates in the program in one of two ways when providing services to a particular disabled beneficiary under the program. On a case-by-case basis, the State VR agency may participate either—
  - (1) As an employment network (EN); or
  - (2) Under the cost reimbursement payment system (see [subpart V of part 404](/cfr/20/part404-subpartV.md) and [subpart V of part 416](/cfr/20/part416-subpartV.md) of this chapter).
- (b) When the State VR agency serves a beneficiary with a ticket as an EN, the State VR agency will use the EN payment system it has elected for this purpose, either the outcome payment system or the outcome-milestone payment system (described in [subpart H](/cfr/20/subpartH.md) of this part). The State VR agency will have periodic opportunities to change the payment system it uses when serving as an EN.
- (c) The State VR agency may seek payment only under its elected EN payment system whenever it serves as an EN. When serving a beneficiary who does not have a ticket that can be assigned pursuant to [§ 411.140](/cfr/20/411.140.md), the State VR agency may seek payment only under the cost reimbursement payment system.
