Suggestions from the public are being solicited on ways to support youth
with disabilities that would help them in the transition to adulthood.
Under the Ticket to Work program, qualified disability beneficiaries will
be issued tickets they can use to access vocational rehabilitation
services, employment services and other support services from approved
providers. SSA will pay the service providers if the beneficiaries achieve
certain outcomes. SSA is interested in exploring various approaches to
assist youth with disabilities who receive payments from us under one of
the programs we administer. Therefore, SSA is seeking suggestions from the
public to help develop new programs that will assist these beneficiaries
make the transition to independence, further education, and enhance
careers in the workforce and that will complement the Ticket to Work
program.
