Youth in Transition

The Ticket to Work Program and Youth in Transition

There are almost one million youth under the age of 18 that are receiving Supplemental Security Income benefits from the Social Security Administration. Approximately 70 percent of these individuals will be future Ticket recipients once they reach 18 years of age. The Ticket To Work Program can help to ensure the successful transition of youth with disabilities from school to work and adulthood through the provision of employability services, supports, and incentives.

The Ticket To Work Program serves individuals ages 18 to 64. Youth aged 18 - 21 being served by secondary education institutions can benefit from the Ticket To Work Program. Secondary education institutions have an opportunity to enhance existing funding by becoming a Ticket to Work Employment Network.

This section of the Ticket Web site provides information about youth in transition and the Ticket To Work Program.
