Please refer to "My Binder" for important documents needed for DDD, DVR, SSI, Perform Care etc.
The Division of Vocational and Rehabilitation Services (DVRS) mission is to enable eligible individuals with disabilities to achieve an employment outcome consistent with their strengths, priorities, needs, abilities, and capabilities. DVRS has various programs for various ages. Please refer to the information below to learn more.
Perform Care is a service provided through the New Jersey Children's System of Care (CSOC) that connects young people and their families to the care they need to be well. This service is for youth under the age of 21.
The Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) assures the opportunity for individuals with developmental disabilities to receive quality services and supports, participate meaningfully in the community, and exercise their right to make choices. You cannot access all DDD services until 21 years old. Beginning to discuss this process at 18 is ideal. You also need SSI to receive DDD services.

Please find documentation you will need to apply for Perform Care above. There are 4 forms (A-D), a checklist, a document to allow Perform Care to disclose information to the school or other personnel, citizenship information, and services offered by Perform Care.
PLEASE NOTE WHEN APPLYING FOR SSI BENEFITS, YOU CAN NOW APPLY ONLINE (SEE BELOW) OR REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT TO ASSIST (SEE BELOW). IF YOU'D PREFER TO CALL TO RECEIVE AN APPLICATION BY MAIL, PLEASE CALL SOCIAL SECURITY DIRECTLY AT 1-800-772-1213 .
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has just released a new online tool that applicants and individuals assisting applicants can use to request an appointment to apply for SSI benefits. This request creates a protective filing date – which is used to determine when an individual can start receiving SSI benefits – as long as the SSI application is submitted within 60 days.
It should be noted that this redetermination process will be for people who have NJ Medicaid, not for those who have SSI and Medicaid.

To the right, please find a list of agencies that provide day program/residential services. There are many more than just this list. Please note residential services do currently have a wait list. You also need to speak to your Support Coordinator about you and your child's interest in this so they can plan for that. Residential housing is a separate waiver process entirely from an individual's regular budget.
