What to Know Before Attending:

As we gear up for the Employment is Possible training on March 7–8, understanding programs like SSI (Title XVI) and Title II can be a crucial first step toward building a successful path to employment. These programs provide vital support that can help youth and young adults with disabilities achieve their goals.

What Is SSI (Title XVI)?

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) provides financial support to people with disabilities who have limited income and resources. Learn more here: https://benefitu.org/…/video-a-look-at-title-xvi-ssi…/

What Is Title II?

This program includes Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and other benefits based on work history.
