SSI Youth Employment Evidence Report

Objective

While many children experience difficulties transitioning to adulthood, children receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) confront additional challenges due to poor health and poverty. These challenges complicate their opportunities for future education and employment, often leading to poor educational and employment outcomes. The purpose of this project was to gather key research and identify the evidence and recommendations to design regulatory and policy changes to support employment for youth with disabilities. Specifically, the team conducted a comprehensive review of available literature, service provider practices, and published studies related to youth with disabilities.
