Background
The purpose of the Youth Transition
Demonstration (YTD) project is to help
young people with disabilities make the
transition from school to work. While
participating in the project, youth can
continue to work and/or continue their
education because SSA waives certain
disability program rules and offers
services to youth who are receiving
disability benefits or have a high
probability of receiving them. We will
fully implement YTD projects in 10 sites
across the country. The evaluation will

2. Youth Transition Process Demonstration Evaluation Data Collection--
0960-0687
Background
The purpose of the Youth Transition Demonstration (YTD) project is
to help young people with disabilities make the transition from school
to work. While participating in the project, youth can continue to work
and/or continue their education because SSA waives certain disability
program rules and offers services to youth who are receiving disability
benefits or have a high probability of receiving them. We will fully
implement YTD projects in 10 sites across the country. The evaluation
will produce empirical evidence on the effects of the waivers and
project services including educational attainment, employment,
earnings, and receipt of benefits by youth with disabilities but also
on the Social Security Trust Fund and federal income tax revenues. This
type of project is authorized by Sections 1110 and 234 of the Social
Security Act.
Project Description
Given the importance of estimating YTD effects as accurately as
possible, we will evaluate the project using rigorous analytic methods
based on randomly assigning youth to a treatment or control group. We
will conduct several data collections.
These include (1) baseline interviews with youth and their parents
or guardians prior to random assignment; (2) followup interviews at 12
and 36 months after random assignment; (3) interviews and/or roundtable
discussions with local program administrators, program supervisors, and
service delivery staff; and (4) focus groups of youths, their parents,
and service providers. The respondents are youths with disabilities
enrolled in the project; their parents or guardians; program staff; and
service providers.
Type of Request: Revision of an existing OMB Clearance.
