Start with the official DORS requestBefore you start
- A list of current needs separated into employment, income, health, housing, decision support, and crisis planning.
Who to contact
Each program has its own application and decision process; Maryland 211 can help identify local referral options.
Step by step
- Request DORS services for employment or transition needs.
- Use Social Security’s official information to screen SSI and benefits for an adult whose disability began before age 22.
- Ask an authorized support professional whether Maryland Section 811 screening fits the person’s housing situation.
- Use DDA Healthy Living resources to plan the transition from pediatric to adult health care.
- Keep crisis contacts available; use 911 or 988 for immediate danger or behavioral-health crisis.
Expected next
A named owner, submitted request or screening, and next date for each route that fits the person’s needs.
Save this proof
A parallel-path tracker with program, contact, request date, confirmation number, missing item, and next date.
If this stalls or the answer is no
