Youth with special health care needs transition

Before you start

  • SSA medical and work evidence, health summary, medications and allergies, insurance, consent and adult-provider plan, housing goals, income and resources, accessibility needs, and current risk.

Who to contact

Use the official destination above, the assigned DDS region or case manager, the DSS Autism Division contact, or the exact contact on the controlling notice. Confirm which agency and program owns the step.

Step by step

  1. Use SSA’s official disability application route and preserve notices.
  2. Build the adult-health transfer package and confirm the receiving clinicians, records, consent, insurance, and first appointments.
  3. Check the current Department of Housing status and local housing authorities; record a closed list as a closed list, not an application.

Expected next

A benefits event, completed health-transfer step, documented housing-list status, or accepted housing application when a list is actually open.

Save this proof

Applications, confirmations, notices, health-transfer record, housing contacts, list status, and next dates.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Escalate within the program that owns the stalled action and ask for the next accepted route.
