My mom always says it's about quality of life.  Then she says follow the money. 14 (c) certificates are a safety net for disabled adults.  Why would anyone want to take it away? An example of work : the local college had an event and needed printed material put in a folder to hand out to attendees.The life cycle of a disabled person is maybe head start, then k-12, and then 3 additional years till age 21.  The last 3 years are spent on life skills and job skills.  Some people can get a job and stay employed.  Some can not.The money part is between 18-19 to apply for Social Security.  $800 per month.  If you do get a job SS allows you to earn $20 then your pay comes out of your SS amount.  If your job offers Health Ins. then you move to that also.  If you lose your job you have to reapply or more likely have someone reapply for you.Your employer receives a state tax credit (maybe 2k) for hiring a disabled person.  They also receive a federal tax credit up to maybe 10k.  The credit depends on how long the person is employed.  Let's say roughly 12k is funded.  (I did not see that in the article).Social Security -$9600 per year plus medicare maybe snap at $1500 and maybe some housing subsidy but only if they can live independently another 4K.I am not seeing how this would be any savings to a taxpayer or how this adds to the quality of life for a disabled person.  What scares me is an adult child who has been taken care of finding himself alone without a safety net.
