Opportunity Summary:
The SSA Protection and Advocacy Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SSA OAG 08 2; CFDA 96.009) is a continuation funding announcement from the Social Security Administration intended to keep existing Protection and Advocacy Program projects operating for an additional twelve months. It is not an open, competitive competition. Instead, it is a non-competing continuation designed specifically for current SSA-funded projects whose budget period ends on November 30, 2008, allowing them to extend services without interruption into the next funding period.
The program is authorized under the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act (TWWIIA) of 1999, as reauthorized by the Social Security Protection Act of 2004. Its central purpose is employment-focused: it supports efforts that help people with disabilities who receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) understand and access vocational rehabilitation and employment services. In practice, that means providing beneficiaries with accurate information, counseling, and practical guidance on how to pursue work, job training, and related supports while navigating disability benefit rules.
Beyond providing information and advice, the grant also supports advocacy and other direct assistance beneficiaries may need to secure, maintain, or regain gainful employment. This can include helping individuals overcome barriers to employment services, addressing problems that interfere with returning to work, and assisting with issues that arise while a person is trying to work or re-enter the workforce. The overall intent is to strengthen beneficiaries ability to move toward employment goals and to prevent avoidable disruptions in services and supports that help them work.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as a continuation grant in the health activity area. SSA anticipated making 57 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $6,725,000. Individual award amounts ranged from a floor of $50,000 to a ceiling of $439,035, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting date was July 15, 2008 (created July 9, 2008), with applications due by August 31, 2008, submitted through Grants.gov. The opportunity archive date was October 31, 2008.
Eligibility is narrowly limited: only organizations already holding an SSA Protection and Advocacy Program award and whose current budget period ends November 30, 2008 are allowed to apply. The listing notes that because this is a non-competing continuation, there is no published full announcement in the usual sense. For access issues or questions related to the materials, the contact listed is Audrey Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 410-965-9469, under SSA (ODISP/OESP).
