Every month, the Office of Disability Policy (ODP) gathers a list of participants who enrolled or withdrew from YTED.  This list is sent to the regional contact (listed in DI 60010.005E). For SSI recipients who enroll in YTED, the regional contact sends the monthly project participation information to the Field Office (FO) of jurisdiction. The FO technician inputs the data into the Disability Control File (DCF) and Supplemental Security Record (SSR).

For participants who apply for SSI, the systems notations are entered by FO technicians in the Consolidated Claims Experience (CCE) on the SSR Special Message page at the time of the initial contact. FO technicians may verify their participation with an enrollment letter provided by YTED, the listing on Philadelphia CDPS page or through their regional contact.

The regional contact provides the FO with monthly project participation information and maintains an updated list on the CDPS page under “FO Resources.” It is used to update the DCF and SSR Special Message. This update reflects the status of YTED participation. If a YTED participant does not appear in the system, FO technicians should alert the regional contact immediately (listed in DI 60010.005E). The regional contact confirms participation status with the YTED project contact. Once participation is confirmed, the regional contact provides the FO with the project participation information to input into the DCF and SSR Special Message. The regional contact then alerts ODP.

1. 1. 

   YTED participants who apply for benefits

   The waiver will not affect initial claims, and SSA will consider income and resources as it normally does.

   FO technicians input the project participation information into CCE during the initial claim.

   1. a. 

      Create Report of Contact (DRCO)

      Document the DROC with the following information:

      • •

        YTED participant

      • •

        YTED start date (date of YTED enrollment)

      • •

        YTED evidence submitted by claimant

      • •

        YTED POMS DI 60010.000

   2. b. 

      SSR Special Message Page Inputs

      • •

        These procedures are only for participants coded as YTED.

      • •

        Update YTED MMYY in the Case Characteristics Code (CG) field (where MMYY is the start month of YTED enrollment). For example, YTED 0925 would indicate that the claimant enrolled in YTED in September 2025. The CG field must be 4 characters.

        NOTE: 

        Every YTED participant must have this entry. It is important for the demonstration research that the CG field is not overlaid by a subsequent input.

      • •

        Update the following in the Remarks field, "YTED waiver case - special income exclusions – See DROC - retain this remark until 12/31/2028."

2. 2.
