   Disability Program Navigator Initiative  
 
ETA and SSA are jointly funding the DPN Initiative in 42 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico where SSA implemented employment support initiatives. This Initiative promotes comprehensive services and work incentive information for SSA beneficiaries and other people with disabilities, through the One Stop system. The Initiative focuses on developing new and ongoing partnerships to achieve seamless, comprehensive, and integrated access to services, creating systemic change, and expanding the workforce development system's capacity to serve customers with disabilities and employers.
