Abstract

Youths with disabilities face numerous challenges when they transition to adulthood. Those who are aging out of foster care face the additional challenge of losing their foster care benefits, although some will be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments after foster care ceases. However, the time needed to process SSI applications exposes those youths to a potential gap in the receipt of benefits as they move between foster care and SSI. We evaluate the effects of a 2010 Social Security Administration policy change that allows such youths to apply for SSI payments 60 days earlier than the previous policy allowed. The change provides additional time for processing claims before the applicant ages out of the foster care system. We examine administrative records on SSI applications from before and after the policy change to determine if the change has decreased the gap between benefits for the target population.

从寄养过渡的青少年:对补充保障收入政策变化的评估。
残疾青年在向成年过渡时面临许多挑战。那些因年龄增长而失去寄养的人面临着失去寄养福利的额外挑战,尽管有些人在寄养停止后将有资格获得补充安全收入(SSI)。然而,处理SSI申请所需的时间暴露了这些青少年在寄养和SSI之间转移时收到福利的潜在差距。我们评估了2010年社会保障局政策变化的影响,该政策允许这些年轻人比以前的政策允许提前60天申请SSI付款。这一变化为在申请人年龄超出寄养系统之前处理索赔提供了额外的时间。我们检查了政策改变前后SSI申请的行政记录,以确定政策改变是否减少了目标人群之间的福利差距。
