The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program provides cash assistance to the families of low-income children with disabilities. Program enrollment has risen faster than can be explained by changes in demographics, health, or income. More concerning is that SSI youth suffer low levels of educational attainment and low work rates, and trends are similar for adults who grew up on the program. Additional steps need to be taken to understand and curb these trends.

The conference features researchers, SSI administrators, field staff, and youth representatives in a series of five panels to discuss the SSI youth program, efforts to improve it, and new avenues for improving the life outcomes of youth with disabilities.
