Transitioning to DDD
Housing & Independence
Let's get Started
Division services are available to individuals who are age 21 or older and meet all other eligibility requirements.
Individuals receiving services through school are able to continue doing so through age 21. If you choose to graduate or leave school between the ages of 18 and 21, it is critical to discuss service options with your school’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) Team and transition coordinator.

A trained Division facilitator will schedule a face-to-face meeting (virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic) with you and your guardian, if you have one. It can be helpful to have additional people participate in the meeting who know you and spend time with you – for example, other family members, service providers and caregivers
The most important in the process of receiving your DDD benefits are answering the questions on the NJCAT, please inquire with our team to help understand the questions and the process
