Welcome to the official website for the Youth Transition Demonstration Project, sponsored by the U.S. Social Security Administration.

In an effort to further the President’s New Freedom Initiative goal of increasing employment of individuals with disabilities, SSA created the
Youth Transition Demonstration (YTD) Project. These projects provide a broad array of transition-related services and supports for youth
ages 14-25 who receive Supplemental Support Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments on the basis of their
own disability.

YTD began in 2003 with seven projects in six States (California, Colorado, Iowa, Maryland, Mississippi, New York).
