SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION requests public suggestions on ways to support youth with disabilities in transition to adulthood. In releasing the final Ticket to Work Regulations, SSA decided NOT to issue tickets to those beneficiaries under age 18 or to those who have attained age 18, but for whom a re-determination of their disability has not yet been conducted under the disability standard for adults. However, SSA is seeking suggestions with respect to how youth with disabilities can be helped in the transition to adulthood. The request for suggestions was published in the December 28 Federal Register. Note that your suggestions MUST be received by February 26, 2002.
Florida Medicaid Buy-In Program A Medicaid Buy-In Program was authorized, and funds appropriated for implementation, by the Legislature during its 2001 regular session. However, the program remains in jeopardy due to actions taken during the November and December Special Sessions called to address a projected budget shortfall for the current state fiscal year. This document, "Talking Points" , outlines the current status of the Medicaid Buy-In Program for Florida and presents a brief outline of talking points that can be used when discussing the program. Users are also encouraged to refer to the The Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 - The Medicaid “Buy-In” Program - A Cost and Feasibility Study for a more extensive discussion of the issue. This study was conducted by the Capstone Consulting Group, Inc. under contract with the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA)
