This information is needed to implement and evaluate the Youth Transition Demonstration (YTD) projects. YTD projects are intended to help young people with disabilities make the transition from school to work. By waiving certain disability program rules and offering services to youth who are either receiving diability benefits or at risk of receiving them, these projects are expected to encourage youth to work and/or continue their education. YTD projects will be fully implemented in 10 sites across the country. The evaluation will produce empirical evidence on the impacts of the waivers and project services on educational attainment, employment, earnings, and receiipt of benefits by youth with disabilities and on the Social Security Trust Fund and federal income tax revenues. Given the importance of estimating YTD impacts as accurately as possible, the evaluation will use rigorous analytic methods based on the random assignment of youth to a treatment or control group. To support the evaluation, we are requesting clearance of baseline and 12-month follow-up interviews with youth, focus groups with youth and their parents, and discussions with program staff and service providers.

This is the first submission for the in-depth interviews. The overall burden has increased due to the addition of the in-depth interviews, and the increase in the number of respondents for the baseline questionnaire, informed consent, and the 12-month follow-up. This increase in the number of respondents is a part of the expansion of the program, as indicated in the previous ICR approved in 2007. There is also a slight decrease in the burden for the Focus Groups. As shown in the chart in #12 above, the number of respondents for the focus group fluctuates per year of the program; therefore, next year, the burden for the focus group will increase again. Also, rather than using the annualized burdens for all of the years, we are only reporting the burden for the current year of the newly revised program.
