The Accelerated Benefits Demonstration and Evaluation Project
Impacts on Health and Employment at Twelve Months
2011. Charles Michalopoulos, David Wittenburg, Dina A. R. Israel, Jennifer Schore, Anne Warren, Aparajita Zutshi, Stephen Freedman, and Lisa Schwartz.
This demonstration tested the effects of earlier access to health care coverage and related services for new Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries. After one year, the program increased health care use, reduced reported unmet medical needs, and modestly improved health and functioning. It also increased job prep and search activities but did not raise employment levels.

Six-Month Results from the Accelerated Benefits Demonstration
Policy Brief

2010. David Wittenburg, Anne Warren, Deborah Peikes, and Stephen Freedman.
This policy brief offers early findings from a demonstration testing whether earlier access to health care and related services for new Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries who lack health care coverage would lead to improved outcomes. So far, the intervention has increased the use of health care services and reduced the reported unmet health care needs of the project participants.

Health Benefits for the Uninsured
Design and Early Implementation of the Accelerated Benefits Demonstration
Policy Brief
|
| |
|
|
2008. David Whittenburg, Peter Baird, Lisa Schwartz, and David Butler.
Many Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries have serious and immediate health care needs, but, under current law, most are not eligible for Medicare until 24 months after they start receiving cash benefits. This policy brief describes a new project that is testing whether providing earlier access to health benefits, as well as other services, for new SSDI beneficiaries who have no other health insurance improves employment and health outcomes.
