As a professional or family member, do you know that you play a key role in supporting youth in understanding the impact of earnings on benefits and in making informed choices to develop pathways to greater economic self-sufficiency to support life goals? The Vocational Rehabilitation Youth Technical Assistance Center (Y-TAC) has prepared a Just-In-Time Toolkit that covers not only facts about Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, but also information about developing assets through an ABLE account, Special Needs Trust or through other tools like using work incentives.
The materials include tips, checklists and information designed to prepare youth to join the workforce of tomorrow.
