An open access special issue of the Journal of Vocational Rehabilitation (JVR) provides a comprehensive review of PROMISE (Promoting Readiness of Minors in Supplemental Security Income), a joint initiative of U.S. federal agencies the Social Security Administration and Departments of Education, Health and Human Services, and Labor. PROMISE funded evidence-based services and interventions to improve educational and vocational outcomes for youth with disabilities who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) in an effort to reduce long-term reliance on SSI benefits.
