Abstract: SSA State Disability Determination Services (DDS) must determine if recipients of Social Security disability payments whose disability has ceased but participate in vocational rehabilitation programs can continue to receive disability payments. To do this, DDSs need information about the recipients, the type of program participation, and the services received under the auspices of that program. We use Form SSA-4290 to collect this information. The respondents are State employment networks, vocational rehabilitation agencies, or other providers of educational or job training services.
