The purpose of this Administrative Directive is to inform local social services districts and voluntary authorized agencies that the Social Security Administration (SSA) has issued new rules as to when an application for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) may be filed for a youth who is disabled and transitioning out of foster care. Effective immediately, a youth who is disabled may file an SSI application up to 90 days before federal foster care payments are expected to end. This is an exception to the general rule of accepting an SSI application in the month before the month of eligibility.
