Protection and Advocacy Program: The Social Security Administration (SSA) announces that it is requesting applications for potential grant awards to the protection and advocacy systems established under title I of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act (subsequently replaced by title I of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000, Public Law 106-402). The purpose of this program is to provide individuals with disabilities who receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, information and advice about obtaining vocational rehabilitation and employment services. The purpose is also to provide advocacy or other services that beneficiaries with a disability may need to secure, maintain, or regain gainful employment. The authority for these grants is found in section 1150 of the Social Security Act (the Act), as added by section 122 of Public Law 106-170 (the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999), and amended by sections 404 and 407 of Public Law 108-203. The regulatory requirements that govern the administration of SSA awards are in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 20, Parts 435 and 437. Applicants are urged to review the requirements in the applicable regulations. This program will be listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance under Program No. 96.009, Social Security State Grants For Work Incentives Assistance To Disabled Beneficiaries.
