This brief summarizes the findings of a report, “Potential Strategies to Improve the Employment Outcomes of Youth SSI Recipients,” from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Supplemental Security Income Youth Recipient and Employment Transition Formative Research project. It highlights two transition frameworks for youth with disabilities designed to guide intervention development and assessment, evidence on potential interventions, and federal and state programs that youth might access.
